Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 492/488, 4116/2976 quickly i.e. 168756/8 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 492/488, 4116/2976 is 168756/8.
LCM(492/488, 4116/2976) = 168756/8
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 492/488,4116/2976
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 492,4116
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 492,4116 is 168756.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 488,2976 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 488,2976 is 8 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,4116
2 | 492, 4116 |
2 | 246, 2058 |
3 | 123, 1029 |
41, 343 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 343 = 168756
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 492,4116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,4116) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,4116) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(492,4116) = ( 492 × 4116 ) / 12
LCM(492,4116) = 2025072 / 12
LCM(492,4116) = 168756
Lets's calculate GCF of 488,2976
2 | 488, 2976 |
2 | 244, 1488 |
2 | 122, 744 |
61, 372 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 168756/8
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 492/488,4116/2976 is 168756/8
