Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 498/138, 496/322 quickly i.e. 123504/46 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 498/138, 496/322 is 123504/46.
LCM(498/138, 496/322) = 123504/46
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 498/138,496/322
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 498,496
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 498,496 is 123504.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 138,322 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 138,322 is 46 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 498,496
2 | 498, 496 |
249, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 249 x 248 = 123504
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 498,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(498,496) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(498,496) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(498,496) = ( 498 × 496 ) / 2
LCM(498,496) = 247008 / 2
LCM(498,496) = 123504
Lets's calculate GCF of 138,322
2 | 138, 322 |
23 | 69, 161 |
3, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 23 = 46
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 123504/46
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 498/138,496/322 is 123504/46
