Use the LCM of two or more numbers Calculator to find the Least Common Multiple of numbers 42, 17, 15, 30, 16 i.e. 28560 smallest integer divisible by all numbers.

Least common multiple (LCM) of 42, 17, 15, 30, 16 is 28560.

LCM(42, 17, 15, 30, 16) = 28560

LCM of 42, 17, 15, 30, 16

Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in three ways

LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 42,17,15,30,16

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42,17,15,30,16 is 28560

2 42, 17, 15, 30, 16
3 21, 17, 15, 15, 8
5 7, 17, 5, 5, 8
7, 17, 1, 1, 8

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 17 x 1 x 1 x 8 = 28560

Least Common Multiple of 42,17,15,30,16 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 42,17,15,30,16 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(42,17,15,30,16) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 180

GCF(42,17,15,30,16) x common factors =1 x 180 = 180

LCM(42,17,15,30,16) = ( 42 × 17 × 15 × 30 × 16 ) / 180

LCM(42,17,15,30,16) = 5140800 / 180

LCM(42,17,15,30,16) = 28560

∴ Least Common Multiple of 42,17,15,30,16 is 28560
