Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 208/172, 3174/4085 quickly i.e. 330096/43 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 208/172, 3174/4085 is 330096/43.
LCM(208/172, 3174/4085) = 330096/43
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 208/172,3174/4085
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 208,3174
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 208,3174 is 330096.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 172,4085 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 172,4085 is 43 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,3174
2 | 208, 3174 |
104, 1587 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 104 x 1587 = 330096
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 208,3174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,3174) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,3174) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(208,3174) = ( 208 × 3174 ) / 2
LCM(208,3174) = 660192 / 2
LCM(208,3174) = 330096
Lets's calculate GCF of 172,4085
43 | 172, 4085 |
4, 95 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 43 = 43
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 330096/43
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 208/172,3174/4085 is 330096/43
