Given numbers are 224,168,302,942
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 224,168,302,942 is 15931104.
Find LCM of 224,168,302,942 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 224, 168, 302, 942 |
| 2 | 112, 84, 151, 471 |
| 2 | 56, 42, 151, 471 |
| 3 | 28, 21, 151, 471 |
| 7 | 28, 7, 151, 157 |
| 4, 1, 151, 157 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 4 x 1 x 151 x 157 = 15931104
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 224,168,302,942 is 15931104.
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.
224 x 168 x 302 x 942 = 10705701888
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.
224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
302 : 1, 2, 151, 302
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 224,168,302,942, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
302:2x 151
942:2x 3x 157
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 2x 3x 7 = 336
Therefore, the value for common factors is 336.
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 = 10705701888/(2x336)
LCM = 10705701888/672
LCM = 15931104
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 224,168,302,942 is 15931104.
