Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 16/972, 69/241, 437/490 quickly i.e. 20976 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16/972, 69/241, 437/490 is 20976.
LCM(16/972, 69/241, 437/490) = 20976
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 16/972,69/241,437/490
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 16,69,437
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 16,69,437 is 20976.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 972,241,490 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 972,241,490 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,69,437
23 | 16, 69, 437 |
16, 3, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 16 x 3 x 19 = 20976
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 16,69,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,69,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 23
GCF(16,69,437) x common factors =1 x 23 = 23
LCM(16,69,437) = ( 16 × 69 × 437 ) / 23
LCM(16,69,437) = 482448 / 23
LCM(16,69,437) = 20976
Lets's calculate GCF of 972,241,490
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 20976/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 16/972,69/241,437/490 is 20976
