LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.4, 0.156 i.e. 15.6 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.4, 0.156 is 15.6.

LCM(0.4, 0.156) = 15.6

LCM of 0.4, 0.156

Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"

Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6

LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 0.4, 0.156

Given numbers are 0.4,0.156. 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

0.4 x 1000 = 400

0.156 x 1000 = 156

On finding the LCM of 400,156 we get the Least Common Multiple as 15600

Least Common Multiple 0.4,0.156 is 15.6

2 400, 156
2 200, 78
100, 39

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 100 x 39 = 15600

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 15600/1000 we get 15.6

Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.4,0.156 is 15.6

Least Common Multiple of 400,156 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 400,156 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 400,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(400,156) = 4

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(400,156) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4

LCM(400,156) = ( 400 × 156 ) / 4

LCM(400,156) = 62400 / 4

LCM(400,156) = 15600
