Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 488/38, 448/2918 quickly i.e. 13664 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 488/38, 448/2918 is 13664.
LCM(488/38, 448/2918) = 13664
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 488/38,448/2918
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 488,448
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 488,448 is 27328.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 38,2918 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 38,2918 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 488,448
2 | 488, 448 |
2 | 244, 224 |
2 | 122, 112 |
61, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 61 x 56 = 27328
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 488,448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,448) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,448) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(488,448) = ( 488 × 448 ) / 8
LCM(488,448) = 218624 / 8
LCM(488,448) = 27328
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,2918
2 | 38, 2918 |
19, 1459 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 27328/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 488/38,448/2918 is 13664
