Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 78/40, 409/84, 261/354 quickly i.e. 1387737 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 78/40, 409/84, 261/354 is 1387737.
LCM(78/40, 409/84, 261/354) = 1387737
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 78/40,409/84,261/354
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 78,409,261
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 78,409,261 is 2775474.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 40,84,354 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 40,84,354 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,409,261
3 | 78, 409, 261 |
26, 409, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 409 x 87 = 2775474
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 78,409,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,409,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(78,409,261) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(78,409,261) = ( 78 × 409 × 261 ) / 3
LCM(78,409,261) = 8326422 / 3
LCM(78,409,261) = 2775474
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,84,354
2 | 40, 84, 354 |
20, 42, 177 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2775474/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 78/40,409/84,261/354 is 1387737
