Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 406/74, 404/5402 quickly i.e. 82012/74 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 406/74, 404/5402 is 82012/74.
LCM(406/74, 404/5402) = 82012/74
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 406/74,404/5402
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 406,404
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 406,404 is 82012.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 74,5402 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 74,5402 is 74 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,404
2 | 406, 404 |
203, 202 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 203 x 202 = 82012
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 406,404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,404) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,404) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(406,404) = ( 406 × 404 ) / 2
LCM(406,404) = 164024 / 2
LCM(406,404) = 82012
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,5402
2 | 74, 5402 |
37 | 37, 2701 |
1, 73 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 37 = 74
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 82012/74
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 406/74,404/5402 is 82012/74
