Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 542/46, 328/8959 quickly i.e. 88888 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 542/46, 328/8959 is 88888.
LCM(542/46, 328/8959) = 88888
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 542/46,328/8959
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 542,328
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 542,328 is 88888.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 46,8959 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 46,8959 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,328
2 | 542, 328 |
271, 164 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 164 = 88888
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 542,328 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,328) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,328) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,328) = ( 542 × 328 ) / 2
LCM(542,328) = 177776 / 2
LCM(542,328) = 88888
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,8959
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 88888/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 542/46,328/8959 is 88888
