Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 297/120, 872/116 quickly i.e. 64746 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 297/120, 872/116 is 64746.
LCM(297/120, 872/116) = 64746
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 297/120,872/116
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 297,872
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 297,872 is 258984.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 120,116 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 120,116 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 297,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258984
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 297,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(297,872) = ( 297 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(297,872) = 258984 / 1
LCM(297,872) = 258984
Lets's calculate GCF of 120,116
2 | 120, 116 |
2 | 60, 58 |
30, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 258984/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 297/120,872/116 is 64746
