Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 5278/838, 3851/6846 quickly i.e. 10162789 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5278/838, 3851/6846 is 10162789.
LCM(5278/838, 3851/6846) = 10162789
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 5278/838,3851/6846
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 5278,3851
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 5278,3851 is 20325578.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 838,6846 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 838,6846 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5278,3851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20325578
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 5278,3851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5278,3851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5278,3851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5278,3851) = ( 5278 × 3851 ) / 1
LCM(5278,3851) = 20325578 / 1
LCM(5278,3851) = 20325578
Lets's calculate GCF of 838,6846
2 | 838, 6846 |
419, 3423 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 20325578/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 5278/838,3851/6846 is 10162789
