Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 944/456, 240/421 quickly i.e. 14160 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 944/456, 240/421 is 14160.
LCM(944/456, 240/421) = 14160
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 944/456,240/421
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 944,240
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 944,240 is 14160.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 456,421 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 456,421 is 1 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 944,240
2 | 944, 240 |
2 | 472, 120 |
2 | 236, 60 |
2 | 118, 30 |
59, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 59 x 15 = 14160
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 944,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,240) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,240) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(944,240) = ( 944 × 240 ) / 16
LCM(944,240) = 226560 / 16
LCM(944,240) = 14160
Lets's calculate GCF of 456,421
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 14160/1
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 944/456,240/421 is 14160
