Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 8472/879, 3178/520 quickly i.e. 13462008 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8472/879, 3178/520 is 13462008.
LCM(8472/879, 3178/520) = 13462008
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 8472/879,3178/520
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 8472,3178
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 8472,3178 is 13462008.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 879,520 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 879,520 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8472,3178
2 | 8472, 3178 |
4236, 1589 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 4236 x 1589 = 13462008
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 8472,3178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8472,3178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8472,3178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(8472,3178) = ( 8472 × 3178 ) / 2
LCM(8472,3178) = 26924016 / 2
LCM(8472,3178) = 13462008
Lets's calculate GCF of 879,520
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 13462008/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 8472/879,3178/520 is 13462008
