Given numbers are 420,261,382,112,140
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 420,261,382,112,140 is 27916560.
Find LCM of 420,261,382,112,140 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 420, 261, 382, 112, 140 |
| 2 | 210, 261, 191, 56, 70 |
| 3 | 105, 261, 191, 28, 35 |
| 5 | 35, 87, 191, 28, 35 |
| 7 | 7, 87, 191, 28, 7 |
| 1, 87, 191, 4, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 87 x 191 x 4 x 1 = 27916560
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,261,382,112,140 is 27916560.
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.
420 x 261 x 382 x 112 x 140 = 656597491200
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.
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
382 : 1, 2, 191, 382
112 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112
140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,261,382,112,140, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
261:3x 3x 29
382:2x 191
112:2x 2x 2x 2x 7
140:2x 2x 5x 7
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 2x 3x 5x 7x 7 = 23520
Therefore, the value for common factors is 23520.
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 = 656597491200/(1x23520)
LCM = 656597491200/23520
LCM = 27916560
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,261,382,112,140 is 27916560.
