Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 5472/178, 2879/738 quickly i.e. 7876944 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5472/178, 2879/738 is 7876944.
LCM(5472/178, 2879/738) = 7876944
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 5472/178,2879/738
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 5472,2879
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 5472,2879 is 15753888.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 178,738 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 178,738 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5472,2879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15753888
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 5472,2879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5472,2879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5472,2879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5472,2879) = ( 5472 × 2879 ) / 1
LCM(5472,2879) = 15753888 / 1
LCM(5472,2879) = 15753888
Lets's calculate GCF of 178,738
2 | 178, 738 |
89, 369 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 15753888/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 5472/178,2879/738 is 7876944
