Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 8426/388, 2072/2538 quickly i.e. 4364668 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8426/388, 2072/2538 is 4364668.
LCM(8426/388, 2072/2538) = 4364668
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 8426/388,2072/2538
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 8426,2072
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 8426,2072 is 8729336.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 388,2538 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 388,2538 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8426,2072
2 | 8426, 2072 |
4213, 1036 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 4213 x 1036 = 8729336
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 8426,2072 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8426,2072) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8426,2072) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(8426,2072) = ( 8426 × 2072 ) / 2
LCM(8426,2072) = 17458672 / 2
LCM(8426,2072) = 8729336
Lets's calculate GCF of 388,2538
2 | 388, 2538 |
194, 1269 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 8729336/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 8426/388,2072/2538 is 4364668
