Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 7978/486, 3176/440 quickly i.e. 6334532 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7978/486, 3176/440 is 6334532.
LCM(7978/486, 3176/440) = 6334532
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 7978/486,3176/440
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 7978,3176
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 7978,3176 is 12669064.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 486,440 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 486,440 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 7978,3176
2 | 7978, 3176 |
3989, 1588 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3989 x 1588 = 12669064
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 7978,3176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7978,3176) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7978,3176) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(7978,3176) = ( 7978 × 3176 ) / 2
LCM(7978,3176) = 25338128 / 2
LCM(7978,3176) = 12669064
Lets's calculate GCF of 486,440
2 | 486, 440 |
243, 220 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 12669064/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 7978/486,3176/440 is 6334532
