Given numbers are 342,659,646
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 342,659,646 is 3831426.
Find LCM of 342,659,646 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 342, 659, 646 |
| 19 | 171, 659, 323 |
| 9, 659, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 19 x 9 x 659 x 17 = 3831426
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 342,659,646 is 3831426.
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 659 x 646 = 145594188
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
659 : 1, 659
646 : 1, 2, 17, 19, 34, 38, 323, 646
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 342,659,646, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
342:2x 3x 3x 19
659:659
646:2x 17x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 19 = 38
Therefore, the value for common factors is 38.
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 = 145594188/(1x38)
LCM = 145594188/38
LCM = 3831426
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 342,659,646 is 3831426.
