Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 42/448, 83/310, 959/136 quickly i.e. 238791 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42/448, 83/310, 959/136 is 238791.
LCM(42/448, 83/310, 959/136) = 238791
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 42/448,83/310,959/136
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 42,83,959
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 42,83,959 is 477582.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 448,310,136 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 448,310,136 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,83,959
7 | 42, 83, 959 |
6, 83, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 6 x 83 x 137 = 477582
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 42,83,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,83,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(42,83,959) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(42,83,959) = ( 42 × 83 × 959 ) / 7
LCM(42,83,959) = 3343074 / 7
LCM(42,83,959) = 477582
Lets's calculate GCF of 448,310,136
2 | 448, 310, 136 |
224, 155, 68 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 477582/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 42/448,83/310,959/136 is 238791
