Given numbers are 420,884,946,897
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 420,884,946,897 is 1009788780.
Find LCM of 420,884,946,897 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 420, 884, 946, 897 |
| 2 | 210, 442, 473, 897 |
| 3 | 105, 221, 473, 897 |
| 13 | 35, 221, 473, 299 |
| 35, 17, 473, 23 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 35 x 17 x 473 x 23 = 1009788780
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,884,946,897 is 1009788780.
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 884 x 946 x 897 = 315054099360
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
884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
897 : 1, 3, 13, 23, 39, 69, 299, 897
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,884,946,897, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
884:2x 2x 13x 17
946:2x 11x 43
897:3x 13x 23
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 13 = 312
Therefore, the value for common factors is 312.
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 = 315054099360/(1x312)
LCM = 315054099360/312
LCM = 1009788780
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,884,946,897 is 1009788780.
