Given numbers are 427,968,120,142
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 427,968,120,142 is 440202840.
Find LCM of 427,968,120,142 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 427, 968, 120, 142 |
| 2 | 427, 484, 60, 71 |
| 2 | 427, 242, 30, 71 |
| 427, 121, 15, 71 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 427 x 121 x 15 x 71 = 440202840
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 427,968,120,142 is 440202840.
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.
427 x 968 x 120 x 142 = 7043245440
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.
427 : 1, 7, 61, 427
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
142 : 1, 2, 71, 142
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 427,968,120,142, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
427:7x 61
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
142:2x 71
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 2 = 16
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.
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 = 7043245440/(1x16)
LCM = 7043245440/16
LCM = 440202840
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 427,968,120,142 is 440202840.
