Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 257/492, 372/697 quickly i.e. 95604/41 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 257/492, 372/697 is 95604/41.
LCM(257/492, 372/697) = 95604/41
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 257/492,372/697
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 257,372
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 257,372 is 95604.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 492,697 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 492,697 is 41 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,372
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95604
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 257,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,372) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,372) = ( 257 × 372 ) / 1
LCM(257,372) = 95604 / 1
LCM(257,372) = 95604
Lets's calculate GCF of 492,697
41 | 492, 697 |
12, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 41 = 41
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 95604/41
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 257/492,372/697 is 95604/41
