Given numbers are 305,846,407,940
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 305,846,407,940 is 210036420.
Find LCM of 305,846,407,940 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 305, 846, 407, 940 |
| 5 | 305, 423, 407, 470 |
| 47 | 61, 423, 407, 94 |
| 61, 9, 407, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 47 x 61 x 9 x 407 x 2 = 210036420
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 305,846,407,940 is 210036420.
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.
305 x 846 x 407 x 940 = 98717117400
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.
305 : 1, 5, 61, 305
846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
407 : 1, 11, 37, 407
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 305,846,407,940, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
305:5x 61
846:2x 3x 3x 47
407:11x 37
940:2x 2x 5x 47
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 5x 47 = 470
Therefore, the value for common factors is 470.
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 = 98717117400/(1x470)
LCM = 98717117400/470
LCM = 210036420
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 305,846,407,940 is 210036420.
