Use the LCM of two or more numbers Calculator to find the Least Common Multiple of numbers 9, 45, 20, 42 i.e. 1260 smallest integer divisible by all numbers.
Least common multiple (LCM) of 9, 45, 20, 42 is 1260.
LCM(9, 45, 20, 42) = 1260
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in three ways
2 | 9, 45, 20, 42 |
3 | 9, 45, 10, 21 |
3 | 3, 15, 10, 7 |
5 | 1, 5, 10, 7 |
1, 1, 2, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 7 = 1260
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 9,45,20,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9,45,20,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 270
GCF(9,45,20,42) x common factors =1 x 270 = 270
LCM(9,45,20,42) = ( 9 × 45 × 20 × 42 ) / 270
LCM(9,45,20,42) = 340200 / 270
LCM(9,45,20,42) = 1260
∴ Least Common Multiple of 9,45,20,42 is 1260
Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.
