Given numbers are 358,196,142,942
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 358,196,142,942 is 1173244044.
Find LCM of 358,196,142,942 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 358, 196, 142, 942 |
| 179, 98, 71, 471 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 179 x 98 x 71 x 471 = 1173244044
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 358,196,142,942 is 1173244044.
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.
358 x 196 x 142 x 942 = 9385952352
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.
358 : 1, 2, 179, 358
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
142 : 1, 2, 71, 142
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 358,196,142,942, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
358:2x 179
196:2x 2x 7x 7
142:2x 71
942:2x 3x 157
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 9385952352/(2x4)
LCM = 9385952352/8
LCM = 1173244044
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 358,196,142,942 is 1173244044.
