Given numbers are 542,404,184,837
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 542,404,184,837 is 4215352968.
Find LCM of 542,404,184,837 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 542, 404, 184, 837 |
| 2 | 271, 202, 92, 837 |
| 271, 101, 46, 837 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 271 x 101 x 46 x 837 = 4215352968
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,404,184,837 is 4215352968.
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.
542 x 404 x 184 x 837 = 33722823744
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.
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404
184 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184
837 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 31, 93, 279, 837
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,404,184,837, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
542:2x 271
404:2x 2x 101
184:2x 2x 2x 23
837:3x 3x 3x 31
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 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 33722823744/(1x8)
LCM = 33722823744/8
LCM = 4215352968
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,404,184,837 is 4215352968.
