Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 428/304, 2209/278 quickly i.e. 472726 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 428/304, 2209/278 is 472726.
LCM(428/304, 2209/278) = 472726
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 428/304,2209/278
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 428,2209
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 428,2209 is 945452.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 304,278 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 304,278 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,2209
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 945452
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 428,2209 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,2209) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,2209) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(428,2209) = ( 428 × 2209 ) / 1
LCM(428,2209) = 945452 / 1
LCM(428,2209) = 945452
Lets's calculate GCF of 304,278
2 | 304, 278 |
152, 139 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 945452/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 428/304,2209/278 is 472726
