Lets's calculate LCM of 487,726

LCM of Fractions 487/421,726/161 is 353562

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 353562

Least Common Multiple of 487,726 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 487,726 with GCF Formula

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 487,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(487,726) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(487,726) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(487,726) = ( 487 × 726 ) / 1

LCM(487,726) = 353562 / 1

LCM(487,726) = 353562


Lets's calculate GCF of 421,161

∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 353562/1

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 487/421,726/161 is 353562
