Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 264/40, 972/9038 quickly i.e. 10692 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 264/40, 972/9038 is 10692.
LCM(264/40, 972/9038) = 10692
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 264/40,972/9038
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 264,972
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 264,972 is 21384.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 40,9038 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 40,9038 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 264,972
2 | 264, 972 |
2 | 132, 486 |
3 | 66, 243 |
22, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 22 x 81 = 21384
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 264,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,972) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,972) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(264,972) = ( 264 × 972 ) / 12
LCM(264,972) = 256608 / 12
LCM(264,972) = 21384
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,9038
2 | 40, 9038 |
20, 4519 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 21384/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 264/40,972/9038 is 10692
