Least Common Multiple of 63,63,12,861 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 63,63,12,861 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,63,12,861) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1323
GCF(63,63,12,861) x common factors =3 x 1323 = 3969
LCM(63,63,12,861) = ( 63 × 63 × 12 × 861 ) / 3969
LCM(63,63,12,861) = 41007708 / 3969
LCM(63,63,12,861) = 10332
