Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 968/96, 6611/872 quickly i.e. 72721 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 968/96, 6611/872 is 72721.
LCM(968/96, 6611/872) = 72721
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 968/96,6611/872
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 968,6611
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 968,6611 is 581768.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 96,872 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 96,872 is 8 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 968,6611
11 | 968, 6611 |
88, 601 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 88 x 601 = 581768
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 968,6611 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,6611) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,6611) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(968,6611) = ( 968 × 6611 ) / 11
LCM(968,6611) = 6399448 / 11
LCM(968,6611) = 581768
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,872
2 | 96, 872 |
2 | 48, 436 |
2 | 24, 218 |
12, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 581768/8
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 968/96,6611/872 is 72721
