Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 308/316, 1078/472 quickly i.e. 539 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 308/316, 1078/472 is 539.
LCM(308/316, 1078/472) = 539
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 308/316,1078/472
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 308,1078
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 308,1078 is 2156.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 316,472 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 316,472 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 308,1078
2 | 308, 1078 |
7 | 154, 539 |
11 | 22, 77 |
2, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 11 x 2 x 7 = 2156
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 308,1078 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(308,1078) = 154
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(308,1078) x common factors =154 x 1 = 154
LCM(308,1078) = ( 308 × 1078 ) / 154
LCM(308,1078) = 332024 / 154
LCM(308,1078) = 2156
Lets's calculate GCF of 316,472
2 | 316, 472 |
2 | 158, 236 |
79, 118 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2156/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 308/316,1078/472 is 539
