LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.5, 0.2, 0.7, 0.724 i.e. 1267 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.5, 0.2, 0.7, 0.724 is 1267.
LCM(0.5, 0.2, 0.7, 0.724) = 1267
LCM of 0.5, 0.2, 0.7, 0.724
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.5,0.2,0.7,0.724. 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
0.5 x 1000 = 500
0.2 x 1000 = 200
0.7 x 1000 = 700
0.724 x 1000 = 724
On finding the LCM of 500,200,700,724 we get the Least Common Multiple as 1267000
Least Common Multiple 0.5,0.2,0.7,0.724 is 1267
| 2 | 500, 200, 700, 724 |
| 2 | 250, 100, 350, 362 |
| 5 | 125, 50, 175, 181 |
| 5 | 25, 10, 35, 181 |
| 5, 2, 7, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 2 x 7 x 181 = 1267000
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 1267000/1000 we get 1267
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.5,0.2,0.7,0.724 is 1267
Least Common Multiple of 500,200,700,724 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 500,200,700,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,200,700,724) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10000
GCF(500,200,700,724) x common factors =4 x 10000 = 40000
LCM(500,200,700,724) = ( 500 × 200 × 700 × 724 ) / 40000
LCM(500,200,700,724) = 50680000000 / 40000
LCM(500,200,700,724) = 1267000
