Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 2636/157, 7037/491 quickly i.e. 18549532 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2636/157, 7037/491 is 18549532.
LCM(2636/157, 7037/491) = 18549532
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 2636/157,7037/491
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 2636,7037
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 2636,7037 is 18549532.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 157,491 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 157,491 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2636,7037
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18549532
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 2636,7037 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2636,7037) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2636,7037) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(2636,7037) = ( 2636 × 7037 ) / 1
LCM(2636,7037) = 18549532 / 1
LCM(2636,7037) = 18549532
Lets's calculate GCF of 157,491
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 18549532/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 2636/157,7037/491 is 18549532
