Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 96/735, 42/102 quickly i.e. 224 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 96/735, 42/102 is 224.
LCM(96/735, 42/102) = 224
LCM of 96/735, 42/102
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 96/735,42/102
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 96,42
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 96,42 is 672.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 735,102 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 735,102 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,42
LCM of Fractions 96/735,42/102 is 224
| 2 | 96, 42 |
| 3 | 48, 21 |
| 16, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 16 x 7 = 672
Least Common Multiple of 96,42 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 96,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,42) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,42) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(96,42) = ( 96 × 42 ) / 6
LCM(96,42) = 4032 / 6
LCM(96,42) = 672
Lets's calculate GCF of 735,102
| 3 | 735, 102 |
| 245, 34 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 672/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 96/735,42/102 is 224
