Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 158/52, 131/3985 quickly i.e. 20698 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 158/52, 131/3985 is 20698.
LCM(158/52, 131/3985) = 20698
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 158/52,131/3985
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 158,131
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 158,131 is 20698.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 52,3985 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 52,3985 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20698
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 158,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,131) = ( 158 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(158,131) = 20698 / 1
LCM(158,131) = 20698
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,3985
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 20698/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 158/52,131/3985 is 20698
