Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 40/12, 52/43, 32/62, 35/887 quickly i.e. 14560 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 40/12, 52/43, 32/62, 35/887 is 14560.
LCM(40/12, 52/43, 32/62, 35/887) = 14560
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 40/12,52/43,32/62,35/887
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 40,52,32,35
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 40,52,32,35 is 14560.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 12,43,62,887 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 12,43,62,887 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,52,32,35
2 | 40, 52, 32, 35 |
2 | 20, 26, 16, 35 |
2 | 10, 13, 8, 35 |
5 | 5, 13, 4, 35 |
1, 13, 4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 13 x 4 x 7 = 14560
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 40,52,32,35 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,52,32,35) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 160
GCF(40,52,32,35) x common factors =1 x 160 = 160
LCM(40,52,32,35) = ( 40 × 52 × 32 × 35 ) / 160
LCM(40,52,32,35) = 2329600 / 160
LCM(40,52,32,35) = 14560
Lets's calculate GCF of 12,43,62,887
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 14560/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 40/12,52/43,32/62,35/887 is 14560
