Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 304/162, 4242/708 quickly i.e. 107464 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 304/162, 4242/708 is 107464.
LCM(304/162, 4242/708) = 107464
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 304/162,4242/708
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 304,4242
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 304,4242 is 644784.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 162,708 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 162,708 is 6 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,4242
2 | 304, 4242 |
152, 2121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 152 x 2121 = 644784
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 304,4242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,4242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,4242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(304,4242) = ( 304 × 4242 ) / 2
LCM(304,4242) = 1289568 / 2
LCM(304,4242) = 644784
Lets's calculate GCF of 162,708
2 | 162, 708 |
3 | 81, 354 |
27, 118 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 644784/6
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 304/162,4242/708 is 107464
