Given numbers are 234,642,642,362
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 234,642,642,362 is 4531878.
Find LCM of 234,642,642,362 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 234, 642, 642, 362 |
| 3 | 117, 321, 321, 181 |
| 107 | 39, 107, 107, 181 |
| 39, 1, 1, 181 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 107 x 39 x 1 x 1 x 181 = 4531878
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 234,642,642,362 is 4531878.
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.
234 x 642 x 642 x 362 = 34913588112
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.
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
362 : 1, 2, 181, 362
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 234,642,642,362, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
234:2x 3x 3x 13
642:2x 3x 107
642:2x 3x 107
362:2x 181
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 3x 3x 107 = 3852
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3852.
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 = 34913588112/(2x3852)
LCM = 34913588112/7704
LCM = 4531878
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 234,642,642,362 is 4531878.
