Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 72/950, 587/722, 986/516 quickly i.e. 10418076 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 72/950, 587/722, 986/516 is 10418076.
LCM(72/950, 587/722, 986/516) = 10418076
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 72/950,587/722,986/516
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 72,587,986
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 72,587,986 is 20836152.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 950,722,516 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 950,722,516 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,587,986
2 | 72, 587, 986 |
36, 587, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 587 x 493 = 20836152
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 72,587,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,587,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(72,587,986) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(72,587,986) = ( 72 × 587 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(72,587,986) = 41672304 / 2
LCM(72,587,986) = 20836152
Lets's calculate GCF of 950,722,516
2 | 950, 722, 516 |
475, 361, 258 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 20836152/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 72/950,587/722,986/516 is 10418076
