Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 296/26, 3742/542 quickly i.e. 276908 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 296/26, 3742/542 is 276908.
LCM(296/26, 3742/542) = 276908
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 296/26,3742/542
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 296,3742
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 296,3742 is 553816.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 26,542 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 26,542 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 296,3742
2 | 296, 3742 |
148, 1871 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 148 x 1871 = 553816
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 296,3742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,3742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,3742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(296,3742) = ( 296 × 3742 ) / 2
LCM(296,3742) = 1107632 / 2
LCM(296,3742) = 553816
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,542
2 | 26, 542 |
13, 271 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 553816/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 296/26,3742/542 is 276908
