Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 398/356, 1978/446 quickly i.e. 196811 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 398/356, 1978/446 is 196811.
LCM(398/356, 1978/446) = 196811
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 398/356,1978/446
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 398,1978
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 398,1978 is 393622.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 356,446 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 356,446 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 398,1978
2 | 398, 1978 |
199, 989 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 989 = 393622
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 398,1978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,1978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,1978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,1978) = ( 398 × 1978 ) / 2
LCM(398,1978) = 787244 / 2
LCM(398,1978) = 393622
Lets's calculate GCF of 356,446
2 | 356, 446 |
178, 223 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 393622/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 398/356,1978/446 is 196811
