Given numbers are 142,252,644,638,948
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 142,252,644,638,948 is 10370614716.
Find LCM of 142,252,644,638,948 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 142, 252, 644, 638, 948 |
| 2 | 71, 126, 322, 319, 474 |
| 3 | 71, 63, 161, 319, 237 |
| 7 | 71, 21, 161, 319, 79 |
| 71, 3, 23, 319, 79 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 71 x 3 x 23 x 319 x 79 = 10370614716
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 142,252,644,638,948 is 10370614716.
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.
142 x 252 x 644 x 638 x 948 = 13938106178304
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.
142 : 1, 2, 71, 142
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
644 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 23, 28, 46, 92, 161, 322, 644
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 142,252,644,638,948, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
142:2x 71
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
644:2x 2x 7x 23
638:2x 11x 29
948:2x 2x 3x 79
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 7 = 672
Therefore, the value for common factors is 672.
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 = 13938106178304/(2x672)
LCM = 13938106178304/1344
LCM = 10370614716
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 142,252,644,638,948 is 10370614716.
