Given numbers are 342,120,140,138,834
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 342,120,140,138,834 is 153072360.
Find LCM of 342,120,140,138,834 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 342, 120, 140, 138, 834 |
| 2 | 171, 60, 70, 69, 417 |
| 3 | 171, 30, 35, 69, 417 |
| 5 | 57, 10, 35, 23, 139 |
| 57, 2, 7, 23, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 57 x 2 x 7 x 23 x 139 = 153072360
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 342,120,140,138,834 is 153072360.
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.
342 x 120 x 140 x 138 x 834 = 661272595200
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.
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
834 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 139, 278, 417, 834
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 342,120,140,138,834, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
342:2x 3x 3x 19
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
140:2x 2x 5x 7
138:2x 3x 23
834:2x 3x 139
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 3x 5 = 2160
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2160.
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 = 661272595200/(2x2160)
LCM = 661272595200/4320
LCM = 153072360
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 342,120,140,138,834 is 153072360.
