Find LCM of 540,783,859,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 540, 783, 859, 842 |
| 3 | 270, 783, 859, 421 |
| 3 | 90, 261, 859, 421 |
| 3 | 30, 87, 859, 421 |
| 10, 29, 859, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 10 x 29 x 859 x 421 = 5663266740
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 540,783,859,842 is 5663266740.
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.
540 x 783 x 859 x 842 = 305816403960
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.
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
783 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 29, 87, 261, 783
859 : 1, 859
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 540,783,859,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
783:3x 3x 3x 29
859:859
842:2x 421
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 3 = 54
Therefore, the value for common factors is 54.
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 = 305816403960/(1x54)
LCM = 305816403960/54
LCM = 5663266740
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 540,783,859,842 is 5663266740.
