Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 2640/346, 2241/4742 quickly i.e. 986040 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2640/346, 2241/4742 is 986040.
LCM(2640/346, 2241/4742) = 986040
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 2640/346,2241/4742
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 2640,2241
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 2640,2241 is 1972080.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 346,4742 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 346,4742 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2640,2241
3 | 2640, 2241 |
880, 747 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 880 x 747 = 1972080
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 2640,2241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2640,2241) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2640,2241) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(2640,2241) = ( 2640 × 2241 ) / 3
LCM(2640,2241) = 5916240 / 3
LCM(2640,2241) = 1972080
Lets's calculate GCF of 346,4742
2 | 346, 4742 |
173, 2371 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 1972080/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 2640/346,2241/4742 is 986040
