Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 531/74, 281/9657 quickly i.e. 149211/37 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 531/74, 281/9657 is 149211/37.
LCM(531/74, 281/9657) = 149211/37
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 531/74,281/9657
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 531,281
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 531,281 is 149211.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 74,9657 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 74,9657 is 37 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 531,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149211
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 531,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(531,281) = ( 531 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(531,281) = 149211 / 1
LCM(531,281) = 149211
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,9657
37 | 74, 9657 |
2, 261 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 149211/37
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 531/74,281/9657 is 149211/37
