Use the LCM of two or more numbers Calculator to find the Least Common Multiple of numbers 87, 42, 87, 56 i.e. 4872 smallest integer divisible by all numbers.
Least common multiple (LCM) of 87, 42, 87, 56 is 4872.
LCM(87, 42, 87, 56) = 4872
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in three ways
2 | 87, 42, 87, 56 |
3 | 87, 21, 87, 28 |
7 | 29, 7, 29, 28 |
29 | 29, 1, 29, 4 |
1, 1, 1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 29 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 4 = 4872
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 87,42,87,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,42,87,56) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3654
GCF(87,42,87,56) x common factors =1 x 3654 = 3654
LCM(87,42,87,56) = ( 87 × 42 × 87 × 56 ) / 3654
LCM(87,42,87,56) = 17802288 / 3654
LCM(87,42,87,56) = 4872
∴ Least Common Multiple of 87,42,87,56 is 4872
