Lets's calculate LCM of 259,491

LCM of Fractions 259/36,491/686 is 127169/2

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127169

Least Common Multiple of 259,491 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 259,491 with GCF Formula

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 259,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(259,491) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(259,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(259,491) = ( 259 × 491 ) / 1

LCM(259,491) = 127169 / 1

LCM(259,491) = 127169


Lets's calculate GCF of 36,686

2 36, 686
18, 343

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 127169/2

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 259/36,491/686 is 127169/2
