Least common multiple (LCM) of 42, 33, 40, 280 is 9240.

LCM(42, 33, 40, 280) = 9240

LCM of 42, 33, 40, 280

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

LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 42,33,40,280

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42,33,40,280 is 9240

2 42, 33, 40, 280
2 21, 33, 20, 140
2 21, 33, 10, 70
3 21, 33, 5, 35
5 7, 11, 5, 35
7 7, 11, 1, 7
1, 11, 1, 1

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 11 x 1 x 1 = 9240

Least Common Multiple of 42,33,40,280 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 42,33,40,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(42,33,40,280) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1680

GCF(42,33,40,280) x common factors =1 x 1680 = 1680

LCM(42,33,40,280) = ( 42 × 33 × 40 × 280 ) / 1680

LCM(42,33,40,280) = 15523200 / 1680

LCM(42,33,40,280) = 9240

∴ Least Common Multiple of 42,33,40,280 is 9240
