LCM of:

Least Common Multiple of 72,46,12,420

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 72,46,12,420 is 57960

2 72, 46, 12, 420
2 36, 23, 6, 210
3 18, 23, 3, 105
6, 23, 1, 35

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 6 x 23 x 1 x 35 = 57960

Least Common Multiple of 72,46,12,420 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 72,46,12,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(72,46,12,420) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 144

GCF(72,46,12,420) x common factors =2 x 144 = 288

LCM(72,46,12,420) = ( 72 × 46 × 12 × 420 ) / 288

LCM(72,46,12,420) = 16692480 / 288

LCM(72,46,12,420) = 57960

∴ Least Common Multiple of 72,46,12,420 is 57960
