Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 500/172, 508/938, 722/218 quickly i.e. 11461750 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 500/172, 508/938, 722/218 is 11461750.
LCM(500/172, 508/938, 722/218) = 11461750
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 500/172,508/938,722/218
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 500,508,722
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 500,508,722 is 22923500.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 172,938,218 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 172,938,218 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,508,722
2 | 500, 508, 722 |
2 | 250, 254, 361 |
125, 127, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 125 x 127 x 361 = 22923500
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 500,508,722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,508,722) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(500,508,722) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(500,508,722) = ( 500 × 508 × 722 ) / 8
LCM(500,508,722) = 183388000 / 8
LCM(500,508,722) = 22923500
Lets's calculate GCF of 172,938,218
2 | 172, 938, 218 |
86, 469, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 22923500/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 500/172,508/938,722/218 is 11461750
