LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 296/42,497/5131

Given numbers are 296/42,497/5131

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 296,497

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 296,497 is 147112.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 42,5131 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 42,5131 is 7 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 296,497

LCM of Fractions 296/42,497/5131 is 21016

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147112

Least Common Multiple of 296,497 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 296,497 with GCF Formula

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 296,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(296,497) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(296,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(296,497) = ( 296 × 497 ) / 1

LCM(296,497) = 147112 / 1

LCM(296,497) = 147112


Lets's calculate GCF of 42,5131

7 42, 5131
6, 733

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 147112/7

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 296/42,497/5131 is 21016
