Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 3556/472, 3022/398 quickly i.e. 2686558 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3556/472, 3022/398 is 2686558.
LCM(3556/472, 3022/398) = 2686558
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 3556/472,3022/398
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 3556,3022
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 3556,3022 is 5373116.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 472,398 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 472,398 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3556,3022
2 | 3556, 3022 |
1778, 1511 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 1778 x 1511 = 5373116
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 3556,3022 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3556,3022) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3556,3022) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(3556,3022) = ( 3556 × 3022 ) / 2
LCM(3556,3022) = 10746232 / 2
LCM(3556,3022) = 5373116
Lets's calculate GCF of 472,398
2 | 472, 398 |
236, 199 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 5373116/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 3556/472,3022/398 is 2686558
