Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 502/295, 1998/580 quickly i.e. 501498/5 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 502/295, 1998/580 is 501498/5.
LCM(502/295, 1998/580) = 501498/5
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 502/295,1998/580
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 502,1998
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 502,1998 is 501498.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 295,580 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 295,580 is 5 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,1998
2 | 502, 1998 |
251, 999 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 999 = 501498
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 502,1998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,1998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,1998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,1998) = ( 502 × 1998 ) / 2
LCM(502,1998) = 1002996 / 2
LCM(502,1998) = 501498
Lets's calculate GCF of 295,580
5 | 295, 580 |
59, 116 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 501498/5
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 502/295,1998/580 is 501498/5
