Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 83/242, 3440/7242 quickly i.e. 142760 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 83/242, 3440/7242 is 142760.
LCM(83/242, 3440/7242) = 142760
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 83/242,3440/7242
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 83,3440
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 83,3440 is 285520.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 242,7242 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 242,7242 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,3440
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 285520
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 83,3440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,3440) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,3440) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,3440) = ( 83 × 3440 ) / 1
LCM(83,3440) = 285520 / 1
LCM(83,3440) = 285520
Lets's calculate GCF of 242,7242
2 | 242, 7242 |
121, 3621 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 285520/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 83/242,3440/7242 is 142760
