Least Common Multiple of 88/18,36/12,131/256

Given numbers are 88/18,36/12,131/256

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 88,36,131

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 88,36,131 is 103752.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 18,12,256 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 18,12,256 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 88,36,131

LCM of Fractions 88/18,36/12,131/256 is 51876

2 88, 36, 131
2 44, 18, 131
22, 9, 131

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 22 x 9 x 131 = 103752

Least Common Multiple of 88,36,131 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 88,36,131 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 88,36,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(88,36,131) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4

GCF(88,36,131) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4

LCM(88,36,131) = ( 88 × 36 × 131 ) / 4

LCM(88,36,131) = 415008 / 4

LCM(88,36,131) = 103752


Lets's calculate GCF of 18,12,256

2 18, 12, 256
9, 6, 128

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 103752/2

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 88/18,36/12,131/256 is 51876
