Given numbers are 180,346,942,940
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 180,346,942,940 is 229782060.
Find LCM of 180,346,942,940 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 180, 346, 942, 940 |
| 2 | 90, 173, 471, 470 |
| 3 | 45, 173, 471, 235 |
| 5 | 15, 173, 157, 235 |
| 3, 173, 157, 47 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 3 x 173 x 157 x 47 = 229782060
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 180,346,942,940 is 229782060.
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.
180 x 346 x 942 x 940 = 55147694400
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.
180 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 30, 36, 45, 60, 90, 180
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 180,346,942,940, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
180:2x 2x 3x 3x 5
346:2x 173
942:2x 3x 157
940:2x 2x 5x 47
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 3x 5 = 120
Therefore, the value for common factors is 120.
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 = 55147694400/(2x120)
LCM = 55147694400/240
LCM = 229782060
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 180,346,942,940 is 229782060.
