Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 279/48, 899/2949 quickly i.e. 2697 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 279/48, 899/2949 is 2697.
LCM(279/48, 899/2949) = 2697
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 279/48,899/2949
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 279,899
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 279,899 is 8091.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 48,2949 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 48,2949 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,899
31 | 279, 899 |
9, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 9 x 29 = 8091
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 279,899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,899) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,899) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(279,899) = ( 279 × 899 ) / 31
LCM(279,899) = 250821 / 31
LCM(279,899) = 8091
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,2949
3 | 48, 2949 |
16, 983 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 8091/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 279/48,899/2949 is 2697
