Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 966/72, 831/861 quickly i.e. 89194 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 966/72, 831/861 is 89194.
LCM(966/72, 831/861) = 89194
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 966/72,831/861
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 966,831
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 966,831 is 267582.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 72,861 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 72,861 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 966,831
3 | 966, 831 |
322, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 322 x 277 = 267582
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 966,831 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,831) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,831) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(966,831) = ( 966 × 831 ) / 3
LCM(966,831) = 802746 / 3
LCM(966,831) = 267582
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,861
3 | 72, 861 |
24, 287 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 267582/3
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 966/72,831/861 is 89194
