Given numbers are 421,642,642,513
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 421,642,642,513 is 46218222.
Find LCM of 421,642,642,513 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 421, 642, 642, 513 |
| 3 | 421, 321, 321, 513 |
| 107 | 421, 107, 107, 171 |
| 421, 1, 1, 171 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 107 x 421 x 1 x 1 x 171 = 46218222
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 421,642,642,513 is 46218222.
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.
421 x 642 x 642 x 513 = 89016295572
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.
421 : 1, 421
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
513 : 1, 3, 9, 19, 27, 57, 171, 513
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 421,642,642,513, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
421:421
642:2x 3x 107
642:2x 3x 107
513:3x 3x 3x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 107 = 1926
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1926.
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 = 89016295572/(1x1926)
LCM = 89016295572/1926
LCM = 46218222
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 421,642,642,513 is 46218222.
