Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 104/40, 996/3456 quickly i.e. 3237 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 104/40, 996/3456 is 3237.
LCM(104/40, 996/3456) = 3237
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 104/40,996/3456
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 104,996
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 104,996 is 25896.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 40,3456 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 40,3456 is 8 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 104,996
2 | 104, 996 |
2 | 52, 498 |
26, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 26 x 249 = 25896
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 104,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(104,996) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(104,996) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(104,996) = ( 104 × 996 ) / 4
LCM(104,996) = 103584 / 4
LCM(104,996) = 25896
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,3456
2 | 40, 3456 |
2 | 20, 1728 |
2 | 10, 864 |
5, 432 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 25896/8
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 104/40,996/3456 is 3237
