Given numbers are 280,840,343,542
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 280,840,343,542 is 11154360.
Find LCM of 280,840,343,542 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 280, 840, 343, 542 |
| 2 | 140, 420, 343, 271 |
| 2 | 70, 210, 343, 271 |
| 5 | 35, 105, 343, 271 |
| 7 | 7, 21, 343, 271 |
| 1, 3, 49, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 3 x 49 x 271 = 11154360
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 280,840,343,542 is 11154360.
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.
280 x 840 x 343 x 542 = 43725091200
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.
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840
343 : 1, 7, 49, 343
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 280,840,343,542, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
343:7x 7x 7
542:2x 271
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 2x 5x 7x 7 = 3920
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3920.
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 = 43725091200/(1x3920)
LCM = 43725091200/3920
LCM = 11154360
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 280,840,343,542 is 11154360.
