Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 88/24, 86/88, 28/32, 18/278 quickly i.e. 119196 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 88/24, 86/88, 28/32, 18/278 is 119196.
LCM(88/24, 86/88, 28/32, 18/278) = 119196
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 88/24,86/88,28/32,18/278
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 88,86,28,18
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 88,86,28,18 is 238392.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 24,88,32,278 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 24,88,32,278 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,86,28,18
2 | 88, 86, 28, 18 |
2 | 44, 43, 14, 9 |
22, 43, 7, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 22 x 43 x 7 x 9 = 238392
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 88,86,28,18 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,86,28,18) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(88,86,28,18) x common factors =2 x 8 = 16
LCM(88,86,28,18) = ( 88 × 86 × 28 × 18 ) / 16
LCM(88,86,28,18) = 3814272 / 16
LCM(88,86,28,18) = 238392
Lets's calculate GCF of 24,88,32,278
2 | 24, 88, 32, 278 |
12, 44, 16, 139 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 238392/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 88/24,86/88,28/32,18/278 is 119196
