Given numbers are 279,426,646,297
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 279,426,646,297 is 422288262.
Find LCM of 279,426,646,297 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 279, 426, 646, 297 |
| 3 | 279, 213, 323, 297 |
| 3 | 93, 71, 323, 99 |
| 31, 71, 323, 33 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 31 x 71 x 323 x 33 = 422288262
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 279,426,646,297 is 422288262.
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.
279 x 426 x 646 x 297 = 22803566148
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.
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426
646 : 1, 2, 17, 19, 34, 38, 323, 646
297 : 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 99, 297
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 279,426,646,297, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
279:3x 3x 31
426:2x 3x 71
646:2x 17x 19
297:3x 3x 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 3x 3x 3 = 54
Therefore, the value for common factors is 54.
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 = 22803566148/(1x54)
LCM = 22803566148/54
LCM = 422288262
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 279,426,646,297 is 422288262.
