Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 421/857, 5052/738 quickly i.e. 5052 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 421/857, 5052/738 is 5052.
LCM(421/857, 5052/738) = 5052
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 421/857,5052/738
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 421,5052
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 421,5052 is 5052.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 857,738 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 857,738 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,5052
421 | 421, 5052 |
1, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 421 x 1 x 12 = 5052
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 421,5052 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,5052) = 421
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,5052) x common factors =421 x 1 = 421
LCM(421,5052) = ( 421 × 5052 ) / 421
LCM(421,5052) = 2126892 / 421
LCM(421,5052) = 5052
Lets's calculate GCF of 857,738
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 5052/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 421/857,5052/738 is 5052
