Least Common Multiple of 16/42,18/45,446/971

Given numbers are 16/42,18/45,446/971

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 16,18,446

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 16,18,446 is 32112.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 42,45,971 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 42,45,971 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 16,18,446

LCM of Fractions 16/42,18/45,446/971 is 32112

2 16, 18, 446
8, 9, 223

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 9 x 223 = 32112

Least Common Multiple of 16,18,446 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 16,18,446 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 16,18,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(16,18,446) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2

GCF(16,18,446) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4

LCM(16,18,446) = ( 16 × 18 × 446 ) / 4

LCM(16,18,446) = 128448 / 4

LCM(16,18,446) = 32112


Lets's calculate GCF of 42,45,971

∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 32112/1

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 16/42,18/45,446/971 is 32112
