Least Common Multiple of 12/42,25/28,526/178

Given numbers are 12/42,25/28,526/178

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 12,25,526

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 12,25,526 is 78900.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 42,28,178 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 42,28,178 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 12,25,526

LCM of Fractions 12/42,25/28,526/178 is 39450

2 12, 25, 526
6, 25, 263

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 25 x 263 = 78900

Least Common Multiple of 12,25,526 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 12,25,526 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 12,25,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(12,25,526) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2

GCF(12,25,526) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2

LCM(12,25,526) = ( 12 × 25 × 526 ) / 2

LCM(12,25,526) = 157800 / 2

LCM(12,25,526) = 78900


Lets's calculate GCF of 42,28,178

2 42, 28, 178
21, 14, 89

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 78900/2

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 12/42,25/28,526/178 is 39450
