Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 72/538, 5341/3844 quickly i.e. 192276 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 72/538, 5341/3844 is 192276.
LCM(72/538, 5341/3844) = 192276
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 72/538,5341/3844
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 72,5341
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 72,5341 is 384552.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 538,3844 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 538,3844 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,5341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 384552
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 72,5341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,5341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,5341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,5341) = ( 72 × 5341 ) / 1
LCM(72,5341) = 384552 / 1
LCM(72,5341) = 384552
Lets's calculate GCF of 538,3844
2 | 538, 3844 |
269, 1922 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 384552/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 72/538,5341/3844 is 192276
