Given numbers are 407,842,842

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 407,842,842 is 342694.

Find LCM of 407,842,842 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 421 x 407 x 1 x 1 = 342694

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 407,842,842 is 342694.

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.

407 x 842 x 842 = 288548348

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.

407 : 1, 11, 37, 407

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 407,842,842, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

407:11x 37

842:2x 421

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 421 = 842

Therefore, the value for common factors is 842.

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 = 288548348/(1x842)

LCM = 288548348/842

LCM = 342694

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 407,842,842 is 342694.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 888, 595, 719
• LCM of 752, 786, 748
