Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 280/46, 369/76, 378/178 quickly i.e. 154980 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 280/46, 369/76, 378/178 is 154980.
LCM(280/46, 369/76, 378/178) = 154980
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 280/46,369/76,378/178
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 280,369,378
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 280,369,378 is 309960.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 46,76,178 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 46,76,178 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,369,378
2 | 280, 369, 378 |
3 | 140, 369, 189 |
3 | 140, 123, 63 |
7 | 140, 41, 21 |
20, 41, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 20 x 41 x 3 = 309960
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 280,369,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,369,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 126
GCF(280,369,378) x common factors =1 x 126 = 126
LCM(280,369,378) = ( 280 × 369 × 378 ) / 126
LCM(280,369,378) = 39054960 / 126
LCM(280,369,378) = 309960
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,76,178
2 | 46, 76, 178 |
23, 38, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 309960/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 280/46,369/76,378/178 is 154980
