Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 5257/496, 7231/850 quickly i.e. 5430481/2 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5257/496, 7231/850 is 5430481/2.
LCM(5257/496, 7231/850) = 5430481/2
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 5257/496,7231/850
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 5257,7231
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 5257,7231 is 5430481.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 496,850 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 496,850 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5257,7231
7 | 5257, 7231 |
751, 1033 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 751 x 1033 = 5430481
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 5257,7231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5257,7231) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5257,7231) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(5257,7231) = ( 5257 × 7231 ) / 7
LCM(5257,7231) = 38013367 / 7
LCM(5257,7231) = 5430481
Lets's calculate GCF of 496,850
2 | 496, 850 |
248, 425 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 5430481/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 5257/496,7231/850 is 5430481/2
