Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 462/996, 9396/488 quickly i.e. 180873 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 462/996, 9396/488 is 180873.
LCM(462/996, 9396/488) = 180873
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 462/996,9396/488
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 462,9396
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 462,9396 is 723492.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 996,488 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 996,488 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 462,9396
2 | 462, 9396 |
3 | 231, 4698 |
77, 1566 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 77 x 1566 = 723492
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 462,9396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,9396) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,9396) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(462,9396) = ( 462 × 9396 ) / 6
LCM(462,9396) = 4340952 / 6
LCM(462,9396) = 723492
Lets's calculate GCF of 996,488
2 | 996, 488 |
2 | 498, 244 |
249, 122 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 723492/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 462/996,9396/488 is 180873
