Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 1446/506, 2878/508 quickly i.e. 1040397 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1446/506, 2878/508 is 1040397.
LCM(1446/506, 2878/508) = 1040397
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 1446/506,2878/508
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 1446,2878
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 1446,2878 is 2080794.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 506,508 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 506,508 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1446,2878
2 | 1446, 2878 |
723, 1439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 723 x 1439 = 2080794
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 1446,2878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1446,2878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1446,2878) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1446,2878) = ( 1446 × 2878 ) / 2
LCM(1446,2878) = 4161588 / 2
LCM(1446,2878) = 2080794
Lets's calculate GCF of 506,508
2 | 506, 508 |
253, 254 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2080794/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 1446/506,2878/508 is 1040397
