Given numbers are 381,682,548,978,642
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 381,682,548,978,642 is 1241741784228.
Find LCM of 381,682,548,978,642 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 381, 682, 548, 978, 642 |
| 3 | 381, 341, 274, 489, 321 |
| 127, 341, 274, 163, 107 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 127 x 341 x 274 x 163 x 107 = 1241741784228
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 381,682,548,978,642 is 1241741784228.
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 682 x 548 x 978 x 642 = 89405408464416
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
682 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 31, 62, 341, 682
548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 381,682,548,978,642, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
381:3x 127
682:2x 11x 31
548:2x 2x 137
978:2x 3x 163
642:2x 3x 107
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 3x 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 89405408464416/(1x72)
LCM = 89405408464416/72
LCM = 1241741784228
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 381,682,548,978,642 is 1241741784228.
