Given numbers are 343,274,609,242
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 343,274,609,242 is 989348514.
Find LCM of 343,274,609,242 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 343, 274, 609, 242 |
| 7 | 343, 137, 609, 121 |
| 49, 137, 87, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 49 x 137 x 87 x 121 = 989348514
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 343,274,609,242 is 989348514.
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.
343 x 274 x 609 x 242 = 13850879196
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.
343 : 1, 7, 49, 343
274 : 1, 2, 137, 274
609 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 29, 87, 203, 609
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 343,274,609,242, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
343:7x 7x 7
274:2x 137
609:3x 7x 29
242:2x 11x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7 = 14
Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.
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 = 13850879196/(1x14)
LCM = 13850879196/14
LCM = 989348514
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 343,274,609,242 is 989348514.
