LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 1/48,25/42,978/18

Given numbers are 1/48,25/42,978/18

Formula to find LCM of Fractions is

LCM = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators

As per the formula LCM of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the LCM of Numerators and GCF of Denominators

In the given fractions LCM of Numerators means LCM of 1,25,978

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 1,25,978 is 24450.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 48,42,18 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 48,42,18 is 6 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 1,25,978

LCM of Fractions 1/48,25/42,978/18 is 4075

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24450

Least Common Multiple of 1,25,978 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 1,25,978 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 1,25,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1,25,978) = 1

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

GCF(1,25,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(1,25,978) = ( 1 × 25 × 978 ) / 1

LCM(1,25,978) = 24450 / 1

LCM(1,25,978) = 24450


Lets's calculate GCF of 48,42,18

2 48, 42, 18
3 24, 21, 9
8, 7, 3

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 24450/6

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 1/48,25/42,978/18 is 4075
