LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.878 i.e. 878 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.878 is 878.
LCM(0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.878) = 878
LCM of 0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.878
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.1,0.4,0.5,0.878. The highest number of digits after the decimal point in the given case is 3
Thus, in order to get rid of the decimal point we need to multiply them with 1000. On doing so, they are as follows
0.1 x 1000 = 100
0.4 x 1000 = 400
0.5 x 1000 = 500
0.878 x 1000 = 878
On finding the LCM of 100,400,500,878 we get the Least Common Multiple as 878000
Least Common Multiple 0.1,0.4,0.5,0.878 is 878
| 2 | 100, 400, 500, 878 |
| 2 | 50, 200, 250, 439 |
| 5 | 25, 100, 125, 439 |
| 5 | 5, 20, 25, 439 |
| 1, 4, 5, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 4 x 5 x 439 = 878000
Divide the result you got with the number you multiplied to make it as integer in the first step. In this case, we need to divide by 1000 as we used it to make the given numbers into integers.
On dividing the LCM 878000/1000 we get 878
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.1,0.4,0.5,0.878 is 878
Least Common Multiple of 100,400,500,878 with GCF Formula
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 100,400,500,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(100,400,500,878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10000
GCF(100,400,500,878) x common factors =2 x 10000 = 20000
LCM(100,400,500,878) = ( 100 × 400 × 500 × 878 ) / 20000
LCM(100,400,500,878) = 17560000000 / 20000
LCM(100,400,500,878) = 878000
