Given numbers are 312,845,442

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 312,845,442 is 344760.

Find LCM of 312,845,442 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 13 x 12 x 65 x 17 = 344760

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 312,845,442 is 344760.

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.

312 x 845 x 442 = 116528880

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.

312 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, 312

845 : 1, 5, 13, 65, 169, 845

442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442

13 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 312,845,442, is 13.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

312:2x 2x 2x 3x 13

845:5x 13x 13

442:2x 13x 17

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 13 = 26

Therefore, the value for common factors is 26.

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 = 116528880/(13x26)

LCM = 116528880/338

LCM = 344760

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 312,845,442 is 344760.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.
