LCM of 42, 36, 54, 162

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

LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 42,36,54,162

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42,36,54,162 is 2268

2 42, 36, 54, 162
3 21, 18, 27, 81
3 7, 6, 9, 27
3 7, 2, 3, 9
7, 2, 1, 3

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 1 x 3 = 2268

Least Common Multiple of 42,36,54,162 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 42,36,54,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(42,36,54,162) = 6

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 972

GCF(42,36,54,162) x common factors =6 x 972 = 5832

LCM(42,36,54,162) = ( 42 × 36 × 54 × 162 ) / 5832

LCM(42,36,54,162) = 13226976 / 5832

LCM(42,36,54,162) = 2268

∴ Least Common Multiple of 42,36,54,162 is 2268
