Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 501/96, 746/5172 quickly i.e. 373746/12 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 501/96, 746/5172 is 373746/12.
LCM(501/96, 746/5172) = 373746/12
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 501/96,746/5172
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 501,746
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 501,746 is 373746.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 96,5172 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 96,5172 is 12 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 373746
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 501,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,746) = ( 501 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(501,746) = 373746 / 1
LCM(501,746) = 373746
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,5172
2 | 96, 5172 |
2 | 48, 2586 |
3 | 24, 1293 |
8, 431 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 373746/12
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 501/96,746/5172 is 373746/12
