Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 72/417, 2056/2880 quickly i.e. 6168 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 72/417, 2056/2880 is 6168.
LCM(72/417, 2056/2880) = 6168
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 72/417,2056/2880
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 72,2056
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 72,2056 is 18504.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 417,2880 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 417,2880 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,2056
2 | 72, 2056 |
2 | 36, 1028 |
2 | 18, 514 |
9, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 257 = 18504
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 72,2056 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,2056) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,2056) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,2056) = ( 72 × 2056 ) / 8
LCM(72,2056) = 148032 / 8
LCM(72,2056) = 18504
Lets's calculate GCF of 417,2880
3 | 417, 2880 |
139, 960 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 18504/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 72/417,2056/2880 is 6168
