Lets's calculate LCM of 3940,8981

LCM of Fractions 3940/240,8981/261 is 35385140/3

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35385140

Least Common Multiple of 3940,8981 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 3940,8981 with GCF Formula

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 3940,8981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(3940,8981) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(3940,8981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(3940,8981) = ( 3940 × 8981 ) / 1

LCM(3940,8981) = 35385140 / 1

LCM(3940,8981) = 35385140


Lets's calculate GCF of 240,261

3 240, 261
80, 87

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 35385140/3

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 3940/240,8981/261 is 35385140/3
