Given numbers are 342,902,178,294
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 342,902,178,294 is 672649362.
Find LCM of 342,902,178,294 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 342, 902, 178, 294 |
| 3 | 171, 451, 89, 147 |
| 57, 451, 89, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 57 x 451 x 89 x 49 = 672649362
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 342,902,178,294 is 672649362.
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 902 x 178 x 294 = 16143584688
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
902 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 41, 82, 451, 902
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 342,902,178,294, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
342:2x 3x 3x 19
902:2x 11x 41
178:2x 89
294:2x 3x 7x 7
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 16143584688/(2x12)
LCM = 16143584688/24
LCM = 672649362
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 342,902,178,294 is 672649362.
