Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 87/26, 119/98, 959/246 quickly i.e. 1418361/2 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 87/26, 119/98, 959/246 is 1418361/2.
LCM(87/26, 119/98, 959/246) = 1418361/2
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 87/26,119/98,959/246
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 87,119,959
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 87,119,959 is 1418361.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 26,98,246 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 26,98,246 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,119,959
7 | 87, 119, 959 |
87, 17, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 87 x 17 x 137 = 1418361
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 87,119,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,119,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(87,119,959) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(87,119,959) = ( 87 × 119 × 959 ) / 7
LCM(87,119,959) = 9928527 / 7
LCM(87,119,959) = 1418361
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,98,246
2 | 26, 98, 246 |
13, 49, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 1418361/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 87/26,119/98,959/246 is 1418361/2
