Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 486/40, 636/84, 320/40 quickly i.e. 1030320 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 486/40, 636/84, 320/40 is 1030320.
LCM(486/40, 636/84, 320/40) = 1030320
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 486/40,636/84,320/40
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 486,636,320
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 486,636,320 is 4121280.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 40,84,40 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 40,84,40 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 486,636,320
2 | 486, 636, 320 |
2 | 243, 318, 160 |
3 | 243, 159, 80 |
81, 53, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 81 x 53 x 80 = 4121280
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 486,636,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,636,320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(486,636,320) x common factors =2 x 12 = 24
LCM(486,636,320) = ( 486 × 636 × 320 ) / 24
LCM(486,636,320) = 98910720 / 24
LCM(486,636,320) = 4121280
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,84,40
2 | 40, 84, 40 |
2 | 20, 42, 20 |
10, 21, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 4121280/4
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 486/40,636/84,320/40 is 1030320
