Least Common Multiple of 16,42,56,978 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 16,42,56,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(16,42,56,978) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 336

GCF(16,42,56,978) x common factors =2 x 336 = 672

LCM(16,42,56,978) = ( 16 × 42 × 56 × 978 ) / 672

LCM(16,42,56,978) = 36804096 / 672

LCM(16,42,56,978) = 54768

∴ Least Common Multiple of 16,42,56,978 is 54768
