Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 948/542, 3129/2872 quickly i.e. 494382 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 948/542, 3129/2872 is 494382.
LCM(948/542, 3129/2872) = 494382
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 948/542,3129/2872
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 948,3129
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 948,3129 is 988764.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 542,2872 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 542,2872 is 2 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 948,3129
3 | 948, 3129 |
316, 1043 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 316 x 1043 = 988764
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 948,3129 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,3129) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,3129) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(948,3129) = ( 948 × 3129 ) / 3
LCM(948,3129) = 2966292 / 3
LCM(948,3129) = 988764
Lets's calculate GCF of 542,2872
2 | 542, 2872 |
271, 1436 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 988764/2
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 948/542,3129/2872 is 494382
