Given numbers are 240,842,186,527
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 240,842,186,527 is 53248080.
Find LCM of 240,842,186,527 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 240, 842, 186, 527 |
| 3 | 120, 421, 93, 527 |
| 31 | 40, 421, 31, 527 |
| 40, 421, 1, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 31 x 40 x 421 x 1 x 17 = 53248080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,842,186,527 is 53248080.
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.
240 x 842 x 186 x 527 = 19808285760
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.
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186
527 : 1, 17, 31, 527
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,842,186,527, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
842:2x 421
186:2x 3x 31
527:17x 31
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 31 = 372
Therefore, the value for common factors is 372.
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 = 19808285760/(1x372)
LCM = 19808285760/372
LCM = 53248080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,842,186,527 is 53248080.
