Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 342/68, 400/8993 quickly i.e. 68400/17 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 342/68, 400/8993 is 68400/17.
LCM(342/68, 400/8993) = 68400/17
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 342/68,400/8993
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 342,400
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 342,400 is 68400.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 68,8993 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 68,8993 is 17 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,400
2 | 342, 400 |
171, 200 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 171 x 200 = 68400
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 342,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,400) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,400) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(342,400) = ( 342 × 400 ) / 2
LCM(342,400) = 136800 / 2
LCM(342,400) = 68400
Lets's calculate GCF of 68,8993
17 | 68, 8993 |
4, 529 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 68400/17
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 342/68,400/8993 is 68400/17
