Given numbers are 381,648,840,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 381,648,840,842 is 1212631560.
Find LCM of 381,648,840,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 381, 648, 840, 842 |
| 2 | 381, 324, 420, 421 |
| 2 | 381, 162, 210, 421 |
| 3 | 381, 81, 105, 421 |
| 127, 27, 35, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 127 x 27 x 35 x 421 = 1212631560
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 381,648,840,842 is 1212631560.
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.
381 x 648 x 840 x 842 = 174618944640
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.
381 : 1, 3, 127, 381
648 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 81, 108, 162, 216, 324, 648
840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 381,648,840,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
381:3x 127
648:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
842:2x 421
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 2x 2x 3x 3 = 144
Therefore, the value for common factors is 144.
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 = 174618944640/(1x144)
LCM = 174618944640/144
LCM = 1212631560
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 381,648,840,842 is 1212631560.
