Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 398/987, 5966/1002 quickly i.e. 1187234/3 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 398/987, 5966/1002 is 1187234/3.
LCM(398/987, 5966/1002) = 1187234/3
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 398/987,5966/1002
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 398,5966
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 398,5966 is 1187234.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 987,1002 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 987,1002 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 398,5966
2 | 398, 5966 |
199, 2983 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 2983 = 1187234
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 398,5966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,5966) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,5966) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,5966) = ( 398 × 5966 ) / 2
LCM(398,5966) = 2374468 / 2
LCM(398,5966) = 1187234
Lets's calculate GCF of 987,1002
3 | 987, 1002 |
329, 334 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 1187234/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 398/987,5966/1002 is 1187234/3
