Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 17/21, 989/42, 716/285 quickly i.e. 12038108/3 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17/21, 989/42, 716/285 is 12038108/3.
LCM(17/21, 989/42, 716/285) = 12038108/3
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 17/21,989/42,716/285
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 17,989,716
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 17,989,716 is 12038108.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 21,42,285 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 21,42,285 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,989,716
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12038108
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 17,989,716 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,989,716) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,989,716) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,989,716) = ( 17 × 989 × 716 ) / 1
LCM(17,989,716) = 12038108 / 1
LCM(17,989,716) = 12038108
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,42,285
3 | 21, 42, 285 |
7, 14, 95 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 12038108/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 17/21,989/42,716/285 is 12038108/3
