Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 5500/258, 2136/742 quickly i.e. 1468500 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5500/258, 2136/742 is 1468500.
LCM(5500/258, 2136/742) = 1468500
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 5500/258,2136/742
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 5500,2136
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 5500,2136 is 2937000.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 258,742 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 258,742 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5500,2136
2 | 5500, 2136 |
2 | 2750, 1068 |
1375, 534 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 1375 x 534 = 2937000
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 5500,2136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5500,2136) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5500,2136) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(5500,2136) = ( 5500 × 2136 ) / 4
LCM(5500,2136) = 11748000 / 4
LCM(5500,2136) = 2937000
Lets's calculate GCF of 258,742
2 | 258, 742 |
129, 371 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2937000/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 5500/258,2136/742 is 1468500
