Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 2172/872, 8731/854 quickly i.e. 9481866 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2172/872, 8731/854 is 9481866.
LCM(2172/872, 8731/854) = 9481866
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 2172/872,8731/854
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 2172,8731
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 2172,8731 is 18963732.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 872,854 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 872,854 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2172,8731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18963732
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 2172,8731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2172,8731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2172,8731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(2172,8731) = ( 2172 × 8731 ) / 1
LCM(2172,8731) = 18963732 / 1
LCM(2172,8731) = 18963732
Lets's calculate GCF of 872,854
2 | 872, 854 |
436, 427 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 18963732/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 2172/872,8731/854 is 9481866
