Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 290/242, 5120/756 quickly i.e. 74240 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 290/242, 5120/756 is 74240.
LCM(290/242, 5120/756) = 74240
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 290/242,5120/756
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 290,5120
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 290,5120 is 148480.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 242,756 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 242,756 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 290,5120
2 | 290, 5120 |
5 | 145, 2560 |
29, 512 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 29 x 512 = 148480
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 290,5120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(290,5120) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(290,5120) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(290,5120) = ( 290 × 5120 ) / 10
LCM(290,5120) = 1484800 / 10
LCM(290,5120) = 148480
Lets's calculate GCF of 242,756
2 | 242, 756 |
121, 378 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 148480/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 290/242,5120/756 is 74240
