Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 5158/336, 3179/228 quickly i.e. 16397282/12 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5158/336, 3179/228 is 16397282/12.
LCM(5158/336, 3179/228) = 16397282/12
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 5158/336,3179/228
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 5158,3179
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 5158,3179 is 16397282.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 336,228 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 336,228 is 12 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5158,3179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16397282
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 5158,3179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5158,3179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5158,3179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5158,3179) = ( 5158 × 3179 ) / 1
LCM(5158,3179) = 16397282 / 1
LCM(5158,3179) = 16397282
Lets's calculate GCF of 336,228
2 | 336, 228 |
2 | 168, 114 |
3 | 84, 57 |
28, 19 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 16397282/12
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 5158/336,3179/228 is 16397282/12
