Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 17/493, 1187/3196 quickly i.e. 1187 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 17/493, 1187/3196 is 1187.
LCM(17/493, 1187/3196) = 1187
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 17/493,1187/3196
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 17,1187
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 17,1187 is 20179.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 493,3196 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 493,3196 is 17 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,1187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20179
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 17,1187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,1187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,1187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,1187) = ( 17 × 1187 ) / 1
LCM(17,1187) = 20179 / 1
LCM(17,1187) = 20179
Lets's calculate GCF of 493,3196
17 | 493, 3196 |
29, 188 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 20179/17
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 17/493,1187/3196 is 1187
