LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962 i.e. 1154.4 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962 is 1154.4.
LCM(0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962) = 1154.4
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.4,0.6,0.8,0.962. 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
0.6 x 1000 = 600
0.8 x 1000 = 800
0.962 x 1000 = 962
On finding the LCM of 400,600,800,962 we get the Least Common Multiple as 1154400
2 | 400, 600, 800, 962 |
2 | 200, 300, 400, 481 |
2 | 100, 150, 200, 481 |
2 | 50, 75, 100, 481 |
5 | 25, 75, 50, 481 |
5 | 5, 15, 10, 481 |
1, 3, 2, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 3 x 2 x 481 = 1154400
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 1154400/1000 we get 1154.4
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.4,0.6,0.8,0.962 is 1154.4
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 400,600,800,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,600,800,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 80000
GCF(400,600,800,962) x common factors =2 x 80000 = 160000
LCM(400,600,800,962) = ( 400 × 600 × 800 × 962 ) / 160000
LCM(400,600,800,962) = 184704000000 / 160000
LCM(400,600,800,962) = 1154400
Here are some samples of LCM of Decimals calculations.
1. What is the LCM of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962?
Answer: LCM of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962 is 1154.4.
2. How to Find the LCM of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962?
Answer: Least Common Factor(LCM) of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962 = 1154.4
Step 1: First calculate the highest decimal number after decimal point.
Step 2: Then multiply all numbers with 1000.
Step 3: Then find LCM of 400,600,800,962. After getting LCM devide the result with 1000 the value that is previously multiplied.
So LCM(0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.962) = 1154.4.
