Use the LCM of two or more numbers Calculator to find the Least Common Multiple of numbers 60, 486, 972 i.e. 4860 smallest integer divisible by all numbers.
Least common multiple (LCM) of 60, 486, 972 is 4860.
LCM(60, 486, 972) = 4860
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in three ways
2 | 60, 486, 972 |
2 | 30, 243, 486 |
3 | 15, 243, 243 |
3 | 5, 81, 81 |
3 | 5, 27, 27 |
3 | 5, 9, 9 |
3 | 5, 3, 3 |
5, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 = 4860
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 60,486,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,486,972) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 972
GCF(60,486,972) x common factors =6 x 972 = 5832
LCM(60,486,972) = ( 60 × 486 × 972 ) / 5832
LCM(60,486,972) = 28343520 / 5832
LCM(60,486,972) = 4860
∴ Least Common Multiple of 60,486,972 is 4860
