Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 36/221, 2020/1183 quickly i.e. 18180/13 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36/221, 2020/1183 is 18180/13.
LCM(36/221, 2020/1183) = 18180/13
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 36/221,2020/1183
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 36,2020
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 36,2020 is 18180.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 221,1183 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 221,1183 is 13 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,2020
2 | 36, 2020 |
2 | 18, 1010 |
9, 505 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 9 x 505 = 18180
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 36,2020 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,2020) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,2020) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(36,2020) = ( 36 × 2020 ) / 4
LCM(36,2020) = 72720 / 4
LCM(36,2020) = 18180
Lets's calculate GCF of 221,1183
13 | 221, 1183 |
17, 91 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 18180/13
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 36/221,2020/1183 is 18180/13
