Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 258/68, 348/1588 quickly i.e. 3741 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 258/68, 348/1588 is 3741.
LCM(258/68, 348/1588) = 3741
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 258/68,348/1588
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 258,348
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 258,348 is 14964.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 68,1588 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 68,1588 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,348
2 | 258, 348 |
3 | 129, 174 |
43, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 43 x 58 = 14964
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 258,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,348) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,348) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(258,348) = ( 258 × 348 ) / 6
LCM(258,348) = 89784 / 6
LCM(258,348) = 14964
Lets's calculate GCF of 68,1588
2 | 68, 1588 |
2 | 34, 794 |
17, 397 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 14964/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 258/68,348/1588 is 3741
