Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 20/308, 197/240, 559/178 quickly i.e. 1101230 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 20/308, 197/240, 559/178 is 1101230.
LCM(20/308, 197/240, 559/178) = 1101230
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 20/308,197/240,559/178
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 20,197,559
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 20,197,559 is 2202460.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 308,240,178 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 308,240,178 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,197,559
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2202460
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 20,197,559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,197,559) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,197,559) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,197,559) = ( 20 × 197 × 559 ) / 1
LCM(20,197,559) = 2202460 / 1
LCM(20,197,559) = 2202460
Lets's calculate GCF of 308,240,178
2 | 308, 240, 178 |
154, 120, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2202460/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 20/308,197/240,559/178 is 1101230
