Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 15/502, 16/242, 173/322 quickly i.e. 20760 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15/502, 16/242, 173/322 is 20760.
LCM(15/502, 16/242, 173/322) = 20760
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 15/502,16/242,173/322
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 15,16,173
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 15,16,173 is 41520.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 502,242,322 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 502,242,322 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,16,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41520
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 15,16,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,16,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,16,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,16,173) = ( 15 × 16 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(15,16,173) = 41520 / 1
LCM(15,16,173) = 41520
Lets's calculate GCF of 502,242,322
2 | 502, 242, 322 |
251, 121, 161 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 41520/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 15/502,16/242,173/322 is 20760
