Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 237/14, 168/2662 quickly i.e. 6636 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 237/14, 168/2662 is 6636.
LCM(237/14, 168/2662) = 6636
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 237/14,168/2662
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 237,168
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 237,168 is 13272.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 14,2662 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 14,2662 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,168
3 | 237, 168 |
79, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 56 = 13272
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 237,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,168) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,168) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(237,168) = ( 237 × 168 ) / 3
LCM(237,168) = 39816 / 3
LCM(237,168) = 13272
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,2662
2 | 14, 2662 |
7, 1331 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 13272/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 237/14,168/2662 is 6636
