Given numbers are 140,888,252,406
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 140,888,252,406 is 2703960.
Find LCM of 140,888,252,406 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 140, 888, 252, 406 |
| 2 | 70, 444, 126, 203 |
| 3 | 35, 222, 63, 203 |
| 7 | 35, 74, 21, 203 |
| 5, 74, 3, 29 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 5 x 74 x 3 x 29 = 2703960
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 140,888,252,406 is 2703960.
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.
140 x 888 x 252 x 406 = 12719427840
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.
140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140
888 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, 888
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
406 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 29, 58, 203, 406
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 140,888,252,406, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
140:2x 2x 5x 7
888:2x 2x 2x 3x 37
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
406:2x 7x 29
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 3x 7x 7 = 2352
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2352.
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 = 12719427840/(2x2352)
LCM = 12719427840/4704
LCM = 2703960
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 140,888,252,406 is 2703960.
