Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 141/278, 2738/5977 quickly i.e. 386058/139 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 141/278, 2738/5977 is 386058/139.
LCM(141/278, 2738/5977) = 386058/139
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 141/278,2738/5977
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 141,2738
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 141,2738 is 386058.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 278,5977 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 278,5977 is 139 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,2738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 386058
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 141,2738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,2738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,2738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(141,2738) = ( 141 × 2738 ) / 1
LCM(141,2738) = 386058 / 1
LCM(141,2738) = 386058
Lets's calculate GCF of 278,5977
139 | 278, 5977 |
2, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 139 = 139
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 386058/139
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 141/278,2738/5977 is 386058/139
