Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 1432/82, 1642/974 quickly i.e. 587836 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1432/82, 1642/974 is 587836.
LCM(1432/82, 1642/974) = 587836
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 1432/82,1642/974
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 1432,1642
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 1432,1642 is 1175672.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 82,974 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 82,974 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1432,1642
2 | 1432, 1642 |
716, 821 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 716 x 821 = 1175672
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 1432,1642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1432,1642) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1432,1642) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1432,1642) = ( 1432 × 1642 ) / 2
LCM(1432,1642) = 2351344 / 2
LCM(1432,1642) = 1175672
Lets's calculate GCF of 82,974
2 | 82, 974 |
41, 487 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 1175672/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 1432/82,1642/974 is 587836
