Given numbers are 237,242,527,945,959
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 237,242,527,945,959 is 1304383955490.
Find LCM of 237,242,527,945,959 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 237, 242, 527, 945, 959 |
| 7 | 79, 242, 527, 315, 959 |
| 79, 242, 527, 45, 137 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 7 x 79 x 242 x 527 x 45 x 137 = 1304383955490
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 237,242,527,945,959 is 1304383955490.
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.
237 x 242 x 527 x 945 x 959 = 27392063065290
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.
237 : 1, 3, 79, 237
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
527 : 1, 17, 31, 527
945 : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 27, 35, 45, 63, 105, 135, 189, 315, 945
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 237,242,527,945,959, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
237:3x 79
242:2x 11x 11
527:17x 31
945:3x 3x 3x 5x 7
959:7x 137
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 7 = 21
Therefore, the value for common factors is 21.
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 = 27392063065290/(1x21)
LCM = 27392063065290/21
LCM = 1304383955490
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 237,242,527,945,959 is 1304383955490.
