LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237 i.e. 237 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237 is 237.
LCM(0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237) = 237
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.6,0.2,0.5,0.237. 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
0.6 x 1000 = 600
0.2 x 1000 = 200
0.5 x 1000 = 500
0.237 x 1000 = 237
On finding the LCM of 600,200,500,237 we get the Least Common Multiple as 237000
2 | 600, 200, 500, 237 |
2 | 300, 100, 250, 237 |
2 | 150, 50, 125, 237 |
3 | 75, 25, 125, 237 |
5 | 25, 25, 125, 79 |
5 | 5, 5, 25, 79 |
1, 1, 5, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 5 x 79 = 237000
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 237000/1000 we get 237
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.6,0.2,0.5,0.237 is 237
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 600,200,500,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,200,500,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60000
GCF(600,200,500,237) x common factors =1 x 60000 = 60000
LCM(600,200,500,237) = ( 600 × 200 × 500 × 237 ) / 60000
LCM(600,200,500,237) = 14220000000 / 60000
LCM(600,200,500,237) = 237000
Here are some samples of LCM of Decimals calculations.
1. What is the LCM of 0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237?
Answer: LCM of 0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237 is 237.
2. How to Find the LCM of 0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237?
Answer: Least Common Factor(LCM) of 0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237 = 237
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 600,200,500,237. After getting LCM devide the result with 1000 the value that is previously multiplied.
So LCM(0.6, 0.2, 0.5, 0.237) = 237.
