Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 140/206, 272/376, 343/156 quickly i.e. 233240 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 140/206, 272/376, 343/156 is 233240.
LCM(140/206, 272/376, 343/156) = 233240
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 140/206,272/376,343/156
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 140,272,343
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 140,272,343 is 466480.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 206,376,156 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 206,376,156 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 140,272,343
2 | 140, 272, 343 |
2 | 70, 136, 343 |
7 | 35, 68, 343 |
5, 68, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 5 x 68 x 49 = 466480
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 140,272,343 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,272,343) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 28
GCF(140,272,343) x common factors =1 x 28 = 28
LCM(140,272,343) = ( 140 × 272 × 343 ) / 28
LCM(140,272,343) = 13061440 / 28
LCM(140,272,343) = 466480
Lets's calculate GCF of 206,376,156
2 | 206, 376, 156 |
103, 188, 78 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 466480/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 140/206,272/376,343/156 is 233240
