Given numbers are 369,978,342,942
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 369,978,342,942 is 358837002.
Find LCM of 369,978,342,942 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 369, 978, 342, 942 |
| 3 | 369, 489, 171, 471 |
| 3 | 123, 163, 57, 157 |
| 41, 163, 19, 157 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 41 x 163 x 19 x 157 = 358837002
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 369,978,342,942 is 358837002.
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.
369 x 978 x 342 x 942 = 116263188648
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.
369 : 1, 3, 9, 41, 123, 369
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 369,978,342,942, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
369:3x 3x 41
978:2x 3x 163
342:2x 3x 3x 19
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 2x 3x 3x 3 = 108
Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.
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 = 116263188648/(3x108)
LCM = 116263188648/324
LCM = 358837002
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 369,978,342,942 is 358837002.
