Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 474/74, 236/3648 quickly i.e. 27966 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 474/74, 236/3648 is 27966.
LCM(474/74, 236/3648) = 27966
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 474/74,236/3648
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 474,236
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 474,236 is 55932.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 74,3648 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 74,3648 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,236
2 | 474, 236 |
237, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 237 x 118 = 55932
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 474,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,236) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(474,236) = ( 474 × 236 ) / 2
LCM(474,236) = 111864 / 2
LCM(474,236) = 55932
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,3648
2 | 74, 3648 |
37, 1824 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 55932/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 474/74,236/3648 is 27966
