Given numbers are 321,860,856,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 321,860,856,842 is 232442520.
Find LCM of 321,860,856,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 321, 860, 856, 842 |
| 2 | 321, 430, 428, 421 |
| 107 | 321, 215, 214, 421 |
| 3, 215, 2, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 107 x 3 x 215 x 2 x 421 = 232442520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 321,860,856,842 is 232442520.
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.
321 x 860 x 856 x 842 = 198970797120
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.
321 : 1, 3, 107, 321
860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 321,860,856,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
321:3x 107
860:2x 2x 5x 43
856:2x 2x 2x 107
842:2x 421
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 107 = 856
Therefore, the value for common factors is 856.
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 = 198970797120/(1x856)
LCM = 198970797120/856
LCM = 232442520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 321,860,856,842 is 232442520.
