Given numbers are 536,942,157
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 536,942,157 is 252456.
Find LCM of 536,942,157 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 536, 942, 157 |
| 157 | 268, 471, 157 |
| 268, 3, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 157 x 268 x 3 x 1 = 252456
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 536,942,157 is 252456.
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.
536 x 942 x 157 = 79271184
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.
536 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 67, 134, 268, 536
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
157 : 1, 157
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 536,942,157, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
536:2x 2x 2x 67
942:2x 3x 157
157:157
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 157 = 314
Therefore, the value for common factors is 314.
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 = 79271184/(1x314)
LCM = 79271184/314
LCM = 252456
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 536,942,157 is 252456.
