Least Common Multiple of 78,36,172,430 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 78,36,172,430 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,36,172,430) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1032
GCF(78,36,172,430) x common factors =2 x 1032 = 2064
LCM(78,36,172,430) = ( 78 × 36 × 172 × 430 ) / 2064
LCM(78,36,172,430) = 207679680 / 2064
LCM(78,36,172,430) = 100620
