LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 158/738,720/142

Given numbers are 158/738,720/142

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 158,720

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 158,720 is 56880.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 738,142 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 738,142 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 158,720

LCM of Fractions 158/738,720/142 is 28440

2 158, 720
79, 360

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 360 = 56880

Least Common Multiple of 158,720 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 158,720 with GCF Formula

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 158,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(158,720) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(158,720) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2

LCM(158,720) = ( 158 × 720 ) / 2

LCM(158,720) = 113760 / 2

LCM(158,720) = 56880


Lets's calculate GCF of 738,142

2 738, 142
369, 71

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 56880/2

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 158/738,720/142 is 28440
