Given numbers are 245,942,338,231
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 245,942,338,231 is 429038610.
Find LCM of 245,942,338,231 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 245, 942, 338, 231 |
| 3 | 245, 471, 169, 231 |
| 7 | 245, 157, 169, 77 |
| 35, 157, 169, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 35 x 157 x 169 x 11 = 429038610
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 245,942,338,231 is 429038610.
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.
245 x 942 x 338 x 231 = 18019621620
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.
245 : 1, 5, 7, 35, 49, 245
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 245,942,338,231, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
245:5x 7x 7
942:2x 3x 157
338:2x 13x 13
231:3x 7x 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 3x 7 = 42
Therefore, the value for common factors is 42.
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 = 18019621620/(1x42)
LCM = 18019621620/42
LCM = 429038610
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 245,942,338,231 is 429038610.
