Find LCM of 294,744,842,740,546 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 294, 744, 842, 740, 546 |
| 2 | 147, 372, 421, 370, 273 |
| 3 | 147, 186, 421, 185, 273 |
| 7 | 49, 62, 421, 185, 91 |
| 7, 62, 421, 185, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 62 x 421 x 185 x 13 = 36911882280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 294,744,842,740,546 is 36911882280.
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 744 x 842 x 740 x 546 = 74414354676480
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
744 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 248, 372, 744
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740
546 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 21, 26, 39, 42, 78, 91, 182, 273, 546
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 294,744,842,740,546, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
294:2x 3x 7x 7
744:2x 2x 2x 3x 31
842:2x 421
740:2x 2x 5x 37
546:2x 3x 7x 13
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 3x 3x 7 = 1008
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1008.
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 = 74414354676480/(2x1008)
LCM = 74414354676480/2016
LCM = 36911882280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 294,744,842,740,546 is 36911882280.
