Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 742/74, 7400/952 quickly i.e. 1372700 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 742/74, 7400/952 is 1372700.
LCM(742/74, 7400/952) = 1372700
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 742/74,7400/952
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 742,7400
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 742,7400 is 2745400.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 74,952 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 74,952 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,7400
2 | 742, 7400 |
371, 3700 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 371 x 3700 = 2745400
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 742,7400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,7400) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,7400) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(742,7400) = ( 742 × 7400 ) / 2
LCM(742,7400) = 5490800 / 2
LCM(742,7400) = 2745400
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,952
2 | 74, 952 |
37, 476 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2745400/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 742/74,7400/952 is 1372700
