Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 516/84, 3432/838 quickly i.e. 73788 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 516/84, 3432/838 is 73788.
LCM(516/84, 3432/838) = 73788
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 516/84,3432/838
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 516,3432
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 516,3432 is 147576.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 84,838 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 84,838 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 516,3432
2 | 516, 3432 |
2 | 258, 1716 |
3 | 129, 858 |
43, 286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 43 x 286 = 147576
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 516,3432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,3432) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,3432) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(516,3432) = ( 516 × 3432 ) / 12
LCM(516,3432) = 1770912 / 12
LCM(516,3432) = 147576
Lets's calculate GCF of 84,838
2 | 84, 838 |
42, 419 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 147576/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 516/84,3432/838 is 73788
