Know Least Common Multiple of fractions 972/987, 4401/940 quickly i.e. 158436/47 the smallest number that is divisible by all numbers by taking the help of LCM of Fractions Calculator.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 972/987, 4401/940 is 158436/47.
LCM(972/987, 4401/940) = 158436/47
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given numbers are 972/987,4401/940
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 972,4401
Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 972,4401 is 158436.
GCF of Denominators means GCF of 987,940 as per the given fractions.
GCF of 987,940 is 47 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,4401
3 | 972, 4401 |
3 | 324, 1467 |
3 | 108, 489 |
36, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 36 x 163 = 158436
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 972,4401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,4401) = 27
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,4401) x common factors =27 x 1 = 27
LCM(972,4401) = ( 972 × 4401 ) / 27
LCM(972,4401) = 4277772 / 27
LCM(972,4401) = 158436
Lets's calculate GCF of 987,940
47 | 987, 940 |
21, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 47 = 47
Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 158436/47
Therefore the LCM of Fractions 972/987,4401/940 is 158436/47
