Given numbers are 420,968,533,196
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 420,968,533,196 is 379218840.
Find LCM of 420,968,533,196 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 420, 968, 533, 196 |
| 2 | 210, 484, 533, 98 |
| 7 | 105, 242, 533, 49 |
| 15, 242, 533, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 15 x 242 x 533 x 7 = 379218840
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,968,533,196 is 379218840.
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 968 x 533 x 196 = 42472510080
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
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
533 : 1, 13, 41, 533
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,968,533,196, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
533:13x 41
196:2x 2x 7x 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 7 = 112
Therefore, the value for common factors is 112.
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 = 42472510080/(1x112)
LCM = 42472510080/112
LCM = 379218840
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,968,533,196 is 379218840.
