Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 8256/253, 7872/986 quickly i.e. 338496 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8256/253, 7872/986 is 338496.
LCM(8256/253, 7872/986) = 338496
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 8256/253,7872/986
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 8256,7872
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 8256,7872 is 338496.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 253,986 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 253,986 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8256,7872
2 | 8256, 7872 |
2 | 4128, 3936 |
2 | 2064, 1968 |
2 | 1032, 984 |
2 | 516, 492 |
2 | 258, 246 |
3 | 129, 123 |
43, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 43 x 41 = 338496
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 8256,7872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8256,7872) = 192
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8256,7872) x common factors =192 x 1 = 192
LCM(8256,7872) = ( 8256 × 7872 ) / 192
LCM(8256,7872) = 64991232 / 192
LCM(8256,7872) = 338496
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,986
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 338496/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 8256/253,7872/986 is 338496
