LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 721/16,158/164

Given numbers are 721/16,158/164

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 721,158

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 721,158 is 113918.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 16,164 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 16,164 is 4 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 721,158

LCM of Fractions 721/16,158/164 is 113918/4

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113918

Least Common Multiple of 721,158 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 721,158 with GCF Formula

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 721,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(721,158) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(721,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(721,158) = ( 721 × 158 ) / 1

LCM(721,158) = 113918 / 1

LCM(721,158) = 113918


Lets's calculate GCF of 16,164

2 16, 164
2 8, 82
4, 41

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 113918/4

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 721/16,158/164 is 113918/4
