Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 240/45, 6978/182 quickly i.e. 279120 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 240/45, 6978/182 is 279120.
LCM(240/45, 6978/182) = 279120
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 240/45,6978/182
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 240,6978
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 240,6978 is 279120.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 45,182 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 45,182 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,6978
2 | 240, 6978 |
3 | 120, 3489 |
40, 1163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 40 x 1163 = 279120
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 240,6978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,6978) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,6978) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(240,6978) = ( 240 × 6978 ) / 6
LCM(240,6978) = 1674720 / 6
LCM(240,6978) = 279120
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,182
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 279120/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 240/45,6978/182 is 279120
