Least Common Multiple of 42, 6986

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

• Least Common Multiple of 42, 6986 by common division method
• Least Common Multiple of 42, 6986 with GCF Formula

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 3 x 499 = 20958

The formula of LCM is LCM(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) = ( a₁ × a₂ × a₃ × .... × a_n) / GCF(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).

We need to calculate greatest common factor of 42,6986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(42,6986) = 14

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(42,6986) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14

LCM(42,6986) = ( 42 × 6986 ) / 14

LCM(42,6986) = 293412 / 14

LCM(42,6986) = 20958

∴ Least Common Multiple of 42,6986 is 20958

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 35, 8674
• LCM of 75, 3763
• LCM of 78, 9065
• LCM of 55, 4742
• LCM of 85, 1531
