Given numbers are 120,360,862,444
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 120,360,862,444 is 5740920.
Find LCM of 120,360,862,444 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 120, 360, 862, 444 |
| 2 | 60, 180, 431, 222 |
| 2 | 30, 90, 431, 111 |
| 3 | 15, 45, 431, 111 |
| 5 | 5, 15, 431, 37 |
| 1, 3, 431, 37 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 3 x 431 x 37 = 5740920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 120,360,862,444 is 5740920.
LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.
120 x 360 x 862 x 444 = 16533849600
Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
360 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
444 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 444
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 120,360,862,444, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
360:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
862:2x 431
444:2x 2x 3x 37
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5 = 1440
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1440.
Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.
LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}
LCM = 16533849600/(2x1440)
LCM = 16533849600/2880
LCM = 5740920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 120,360,862,444 is 5740920.
