Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 368/140, 3112/7272 quickly i.e. 35788 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 368/140, 3112/7272 is 35788.
LCM(368/140, 3112/7272) = 35788
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 368/140,3112/7272
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 368,3112
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 368,3112 is 143152.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 140,7272 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 140,7272 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 368,3112
2 | 368, 3112 |
2 | 184, 1556 |
2 | 92, 778 |
46, 389 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 46 x 389 = 143152
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 368,3112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,3112) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,3112) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(368,3112) = ( 368 × 3112 ) / 8
LCM(368,3112) = 1145216 / 8
LCM(368,3112) = 143152
Lets's calculate GCF of 140,7272
2 | 140, 7272 |
2 | 70, 3636 |
35, 1818 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 143152/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 368/140,3112/7272 is 35788
