LCM of 42, 64, 49, 72

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

LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 42,64,49,72

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 42,64,49,72 is 28224

2 42, 64, 49, 72
2 21, 32, 49, 36
2 21, 16, 49, 18
3 21, 8, 49, 9
7 7, 8, 49, 3
1, 8, 7, 3

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 8 x 7 x 3 = 28224

Least Common Multiple of 42,64,49,72 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 42,64,49,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(42,64,49,72) = 1

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

GCF(42,64,49,72) x common factors =1 x 336 = 336

LCM(42,64,49,72) = ( 42 × 64 × 49 × 72 ) / 336

LCM(42,64,49,72) = 9483264 / 336

LCM(42,64,49,72) = 28224

∴ Least Common Multiple of 42,64,49,72 is 28224
