Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 1987/460, 1516/794 quickly i.e. 1506146 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1987/460, 1516/794 is 1506146.
LCM(1987/460, 1516/794) = 1506146
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 1987/460,1516/794
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 1987,1516
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 1987,1516 is 3012292.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 460,794 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 460,794 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1987,1516
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3012292
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 1987,1516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1987,1516) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1987,1516) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1987,1516) = ( 1987 × 1516 ) / 1
LCM(1987,1516) = 3012292 / 1
LCM(1987,1516) = 3012292
Lets's calculate GCF of 460,794
2 | 460, 794 |
230, 397 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 3012292/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 1987/460,1516/794 is 1506146
