Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 272/480, 2326/848 quickly i.e. 19771 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 272/480, 2326/848 is 19771.
LCM(272/480, 2326/848) = 19771
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 272/480,2326/848
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 272,2326
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 272,2326 is 316336.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 480,848 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 480,848 is 16 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,2326
2 | 272, 2326 |
136, 1163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 136 x 1163 = 316336
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 272,2326 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,2326) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,2326) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(272,2326) = ( 272 × 2326 ) / 2
LCM(272,2326) = 632672 / 2
LCM(272,2326) = 316336
Lets's calculate GCF of 480,848
2 | 480, 848 |
2 | 240, 424 |
2 | 120, 212 |
2 | 60, 106 |
30, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 316336/16
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 272/480,2326/848 is 19771
