Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 938/261, 2253/231 quickly i.e. 704438 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 938/261, 2253/231 is 704438.
LCM(938/261, 2253/231) = 704438
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 938/261,2253/231
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 938,2253
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 938,2253 is 2113314.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 261,231 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 261,231 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,2253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2113314
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 938,2253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,2253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,2253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,2253) = ( 938 × 2253 ) / 1
LCM(938,2253) = 2113314 / 1
LCM(938,2253) = 2113314
Lets's calculate GCF of 261,231
3 | 261, 231 |
87, 77 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2113314/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 938/261,2253/231 is 704438
