Given numbers are 218,420,996,847
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 218,420,996,847 is 459768540.
Find LCM of 218,420,996,847 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 218, 420, 996, 847 |
| 2 | 109, 210, 498, 847 |
| 3 | 109, 105, 249, 847 |
| 7 | 109, 35, 83, 847 |
| 109, 5, 83, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 109 x 5 x 83 x 121 = 459768540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 218,420,996,847 is 459768540.
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.
218 x 420 x 996 x 847 = 77241114720
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.
218 : 1, 2, 109, 218
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
996 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
847 : 1, 7, 11, 77, 121, 847
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 218,420,996,847, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
218:2x 109
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
996:2x 2x 3x 83
847:7x 11x 11
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 7 = 168
Therefore, the value for common factors is 168.
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 = 77241114720/(1x168)
LCM = 77241114720/168
LCM = 459768540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 218,420,996,847 is 459768540.
