Given numbers are 209,363,972,421
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 209,363,972,421 is 940778388.
Find LCM of 209,363,972,421 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 209, 363, 972, 421 |
| 11 | 209, 121, 324, 421 |
| 19, 11, 324, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 11 x 19 x 11 x 324 x 421 = 940778388
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 209,363,972,421 is 940778388.
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.
209 x 363 x 972 x 421 = 31045686804
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.
209 : 1, 11, 19, 209
363 : 1, 3, 11, 33, 121, 363
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
421 : 1, 421
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 209,363,972,421, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
209:11x 19
363:3x 11x 11
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
421:421
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 11 = 33
Therefore, the value for common factors is 33.
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 = 31045686804/(1x33)
LCM = 31045686804/33
LCM = 940778388
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 209,363,972,421 is 940778388.
