Least Common Multiple of 160/48,180/72,240/132

Given numbers are 160/48,180/72,240/132

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 160,180,240

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 160,180,240 is 1440.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 48,72,132 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 48,72,132 is 12 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 160,180,240

LCM of Fractions 160/48,180/72,240/132 is 120

2 160, 180, 240
2 80, 90, 120
2 40, 45, 60
2 20, 45, 30
3 10, 45, 15
5 10, 5, 15
2, 1, 3

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 1 x 3 = 1440

Least Common Multiple of 160,180,240 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 160,180,240 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 160,180,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(160,180,240) = 20

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 240

GCF(160,180,240) x common factors =20 x 240 = 4800

LCM(160,180,240) = ( 160 × 180 × 240 ) / 4800

LCM(160,180,240) = 6912000 / 4800

LCM(160,180,240) = 1440


Lets's calculate GCF of 48,72,132

2 48, 72, 132
2 24, 36, 66
3 12, 18, 33
4, 6, 11

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 1440/12

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 160/48,180/72,240/132 is 120
