Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 42/42, 241/98, 461/242 quickly i.e. 2333121 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42/42, 241/98, 461/242 is 2333121.
LCM(42/42, 241/98, 461/242) = 2333121
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 42/42,241/98,461/242
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 42,241,461
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 42,241,461 is 4666242.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 42,98,242 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 42,98,242 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,241,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4666242
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 42,241,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,241,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,241,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,241,461) = ( 42 × 241 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(42,241,461) = 4666242 / 1
LCM(42,241,461) = 4666242
Lets's calculate GCF of 42,98,242
2 | 42, 98, 242 |
21, 49, 121 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 4666242/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 42/42,241/98,461/242 is 2333121
