Given numbers are 185,360,942,964
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 185,360,942,964 is 503988840.
Find LCM of 185,360,942,964 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 185, 360, 942, 964 |
| 2 | 185, 180, 471, 482 |
| 3 | 185, 90, 471, 241 |
| 5 | 185, 30, 157, 241 |
| 37, 6, 157, 241 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 37 x 6 x 157 x 241 = 503988840
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 185,360,942,964 is 503988840.
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.
185 x 360 x 942 x 964 = 60478660800
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.
185 : 1, 5, 37, 185
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
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
964 : 1, 2, 4, 241, 482, 964
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 185,360,942,964, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
185:5x 37
360:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
942:2x 3x 157
964:2x 2x 241
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 = 60478660800/(1x120)
LCM = 60478660800/120
LCM = 503988840
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 185,360,942,964 is 503988840.
