LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.486 i.e. 243 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.486 is 243.
LCM(0.2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.486) = 243
LCM of 0.2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.486
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.2,0.5,0.2,0.486. 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
0.2 x 1000 = 200
0.5 x 1000 = 500
0.2 x 1000 = 200
0.486 x 1000 = 486
On finding the LCM of 200,500,200,486 we get the Least Common Multiple as 243000
Least Common Multiple 0.2,0.5,0.2,0.486 is 243
| 2 | 200, 500, 200, 486 |
| 2 | 100, 250, 100, 243 |
| 2 | 50, 125, 50, 243 |
| 5 | 25, 125, 25, 243 |
| 5 | 5, 5, 25, 243 |
| 1, 1, 5, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 5 x 243 = 243000
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 243000/1000 we get 243
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.2,0.5,0.2,0.486 is 243
Least Common Multiple of 200,500,200,486 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 200,500,200,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(200,500,200,486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20000
GCF(200,500,200,486) x common factors =2 x 20000 = 40000
LCM(200,500,200,486) = ( 200 × 500 × 200 × 486 ) / 40000
LCM(200,500,200,486) = 9720000000 / 40000
LCM(200,500,200,486) = 243000
