Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 736/72, 8331/840 quickly i.e. 255484 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 736/72, 8331/840 is 255484.
LCM(736/72, 8331/840) = 255484
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 736/72,8331/840
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 736,8331
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 736,8331 is 6131616.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 72,840 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 72,840 is 24 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 736,8331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6131616
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 736,8331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,8331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,8331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(736,8331) = ( 736 × 8331 ) / 1
LCM(736,8331) = 6131616 / 1
LCM(736,8331) = 6131616
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,840
2 | 72, 840 |
2 | 36, 420 |
2 | 18, 210 |
3 | 9, 105 |
3, 35 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 6131616/24
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 736/72,8331/840 is 255484
