Given numbers are 142,534,968,162
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 142,534,968,162 is 495460152.
Find LCM of 142,534,968,162 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 142, 534, 968, 162 |
| 3 | 71, 267, 484, 81 |
| 71, 89, 484, 27 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 71 x 89 x 484 x 27 = 495460152
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 142,534,968,162 is 495460152.
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 534 x 968 x 162 = 11891043648
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
534 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 89, 178, 267, 534
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 142,534,968,162, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
142:2x 71
534:2x 3x 89
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 11891043648/(2x12)
LCM = 11891043648/24
LCM = 495460152
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 142,534,968,162 is 495460152.
