Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 284/272, 3924/178 quickly i.e. 139302 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 284/272, 3924/178 is 139302.
LCM(284/272, 3924/178) = 139302
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 284/272,3924/178
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 284,3924
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 284,3924 is 278604.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 272,178 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 272,178 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,3924
2 | 284, 3924 |
2 | 142, 1962 |
71, 981 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 71 x 981 = 278604
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 284,3924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,3924) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,3924) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(284,3924) = ( 284 × 3924 ) / 4
LCM(284,3924) = 1114416 / 4
LCM(284,3924) = 278604
Lets's calculate GCF of 272,178
2 | 272, 178 |
136, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 278604/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 284/272,3924/178 is 139302
