Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 498/588, 4731/5966 quickly i.e. 4731 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 498/588, 4731/5966 is 4731.
LCM(498/588, 4731/5966) = 4731
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 498/588,4731/5966
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 498,4731
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 498,4731 is 9462.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 588,5966 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 588,5966 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 498,4731
3 | 498, 4731 |
83 | 166, 1577 |
2, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 83 x 2 x 19 = 9462
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 498,4731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(498,4731) = 249
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(498,4731) x common factors =249 x 1 = 249
LCM(498,4731) = ( 498 × 4731 ) / 249
LCM(498,4731) = 2356038 / 249
LCM(498,4731) = 9462
Lets's calculate GCF of 588,5966
2 | 588, 5966 |
294, 2983 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 9462/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 498/588,4731/5966 is 4731
