Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 162/27, 842/1428 quickly i.e. 22734 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 162/27, 842/1428 is 22734.
LCM(162/27, 842/1428) = 22734
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 162/27,842/1428
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 162,842
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 162,842 is 68202.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 27,1428 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 27,1428 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,842
2 | 162, 842 |
81, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 81 x 421 = 68202
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 162,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(162,842) = ( 162 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(162,842) = 136404 / 2
LCM(162,842) = 68202
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,1428
3 | 27, 1428 |
9, 476 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 68202/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 162/27,842/1428 is 22734
