Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"

Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3

LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 842/7,42/14

Given numbers are 842/7,42/14

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 842,42

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 842,42 is 17682.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 7,14 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 7,14 is 7 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 842,42

LCM of Fractions 842/7,42/14 is 2526

2 842, 42
421, 21

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 21 = 17682

Least Common Multiple of 842,42 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 842,42 with GCF Formula

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 842,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(842,42) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(842,42) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2

LCM(842,42) = ( 842 × 42 ) / 2

LCM(842,42) = 35364 / 2

LCM(842,42) = 17682


Lets's calculate GCF of 7,14

7 7, 14
1, 2

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 17682/7

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 842/7,42/14 is 2526
