Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 520/440, 493/176 quickly i.e. 256360/88 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 520/440, 493/176 is 256360/88.
LCM(520/440, 493/176) = 256360/88
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 520/440,493/176
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 520,493
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 520,493 is 256360.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 440,176 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 440,176 is 88 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 256360
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 520,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(520,493) = ( 520 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(520,493) = 256360 / 1
LCM(520,493) = 256360
Lets's calculate GCF of 440,176
2 | 440, 176 |
2 | 220, 88 |
2 | 110, 44 |
11 | 55, 22 |
5, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 = 88
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 256360/88
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 520/440,493/176 is 256360/88
