Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 256/27, 968/6738 quickly i.e. 30976/3 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 256/27, 968/6738 is 30976/3.
LCM(256/27, 968/6738) = 30976/3
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 256/27,968/6738
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 256,968
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 256,968 is 30976.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 27,6738 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 27,6738 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,968
2 | 256, 968 |
2 | 128, 484 |
2 | 64, 242 |
32, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 32 x 121 = 30976
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 256,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,968) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,968) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(256,968) = ( 256 × 968 ) / 8
LCM(256,968) = 247808 / 8
LCM(256,968) = 30976
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,6738
3 | 27, 6738 |
9, 2246 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 30976/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 256/27,968/6738 is 30976/3
