Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 18/852, 3568/5946 quickly i.e. 5352 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18/852, 3568/5946 is 5352.
LCM(18/852, 3568/5946) = 5352
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 18/852,3568/5946
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 18,3568
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 18,3568 is 32112.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 852,5946 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 852,5946 is 6 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,3568
2 | 18, 3568 |
9, 1784 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 1784 = 32112
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 18,3568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,3568) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,3568) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,3568) = ( 18 × 3568 ) / 2
LCM(18,3568) = 64224 / 2
LCM(18,3568) = 32112
Lets's calculate GCF of 852,5946
2 | 852, 5946 |
3 | 426, 2973 |
142, 991 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 32112/6
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 18/852,3568/5946 is 5352
