Given numbers are 294,456,240,984
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 294,456,240,984 is 9161040.
Find LCM of 294,456,240,984 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 294, 456, 240, 984 |
| 2 | 147, 228, 120, 492 |
| 2 | 147, 114, 60, 246 |
| 3 | 147, 57, 30, 123 |
| 49, 19, 10, 41 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 49 x 19 x 10 x 41 = 9161040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 294,456,240,984 is 9161040.
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.
294 x 456 x 240 x 984 = 31660554240
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.
294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
456 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 456
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984
6 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 294,456,240,984, is 6.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
294:2x 3x 7x 7
456:2x 2x 2x 3x 19
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41
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 2x 2x 3x 3 = 576
Therefore, the value for common factors is 576.
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 = 31660554240/(6x576)
LCM = 31660554240/3456
LCM = 9161040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 294,456,240,984 is 9161040.
