Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 36/974, 3501/5944 quickly i.e. 7002 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 36/974, 3501/5944 is 7002.
LCM(36/974, 3501/5944) = 7002
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 36/974,3501/5944
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 36,3501
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 36,3501 is 14004.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 974,5944 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 974,5944 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,3501
3 | 36, 3501 |
3 | 12, 1167 |
4, 389 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 4 x 389 = 14004
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 36,3501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,3501) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,3501) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(36,3501) = ( 36 × 3501 ) / 9
LCM(36,3501) = 126036 / 9
LCM(36,3501) = 14004
Lets's calculate GCF of 974,5944
2 | 974, 5944 |
487, 2972 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 14004/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 36/974,3501/5944 is 7002
