Given numbers are 246,404,642,264
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 246,404,642,264 is 116974968.
Find LCM of 246,404,642,264 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 246, 404, 642, 264 |
| 2 | 123, 202, 321, 132 |
| 3 | 123, 101, 321, 66 |
| 41, 101, 107, 22 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 101 x 107 x 22 = 116974968
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 246,404,642,264 is 116974968.
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.
246 x 404 x 642 x 264 = 16844395392
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.
246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246
404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
264 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 246,404,642,264, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
246:2x 3x 41
404:2x 2x 101
642:2x 3x 107
264:2x 2x 2x 3x 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 2x 2x 3x 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 16844395392/(2x72)
LCM = 16844395392/144
LCM = 116974968
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 246,404,642,264 is 116974968.
