LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.5, 0.397 i.e. 198.5 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.5, 0.397 is 198.5.
LCM(0.5, 0.397) = 198.5
LCM of 0.5, 0.397
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.5,0.397. 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
0.397 x 1000 = 397
On finding the LCM of 500,397 we get the Least Common Multiple as 198500
Least Common Multiple 0.5,0.397 is 198.5
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198500
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 198500/1000 we get 198.5
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.5,0.397 is 198.5
Least Common Multiple of 500,397 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 500,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(500,397) = ( 500 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(500,397) = 198500 / 1
LCM(500,397) = 198500
