Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 292/72, 400/5216 quickly i.e. 3650 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 292/72, 400/5216 is 3650.
LCM(292/72, 400/5216) = 3650
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 292/72,400/5216
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 292,400
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 292,400 is 29200.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 72,5216 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 72,5216 is 8 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 292,400
2 | 292, 400 |
2 | 146, 200 |
73, 100 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 73 x 100 = 29200
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 292,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(292,400) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(292,400) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(292,400) = ( 292 × 400 ) / 4
LCM(292,400) = 116800 / 4
LCM(292,400) = 29200
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,5216
2 | 72, 5216 |
2 | 36, 2608 |
2 | 18, 1304 |
9, 652 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 29200/8
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 292/72,400/5216 is 3650
