Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 279/36, 246/28, 861/284 quickly i.e. 160146/4 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 279/36, 246/28, 861/284 is 160146/4.
LCM(279/36, 246/28, 861/284) = 160146/4
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 279/36,246/28,861/284
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 279,246,861
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 279,246,861 is 160146.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 36,28,284 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 36,28,284 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,246,861
3 | 279, 246, 861 |
41 | 93, 82, 287 |
93, 2, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 41 x 93 x 2 x 7 = 160146
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 279,246,861 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,246,861) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 123
GCF(279,246,861) x common factors =3 x 123 = 369
LCM(279,246,861) = ( 279 × 246 × 861 ) / 369
LCM(279,246,861) = 59093874 / 369
LCM(279,246,861) = 160146
Lets's calculate GCF of 36,28,284
2 | 36, 28, 284 |
2 | 18, 14, 142 |
9, 7, 71 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 160146/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 279/36,246/28,861/284 is 160146/4
