Given numbers are 637,403,234,242
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 637,403,234,242 is 43008966.
Find LCM of 637,403,234,242 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 637, 403, 234, 242 |
| 13 | 637, 403, 117, 121 |
| 49, 31, 9, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 49 x 31 x 9 x 121 = 43008966
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 637,403,234,242 is 43008966.
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.
637 x 403 x 234 x 242 = 14537030508
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.
637 : 1, 7, 13, 49, 91, 637
403 : 1, 13, 31, 403
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 637,403,234,242, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
637:7x 7x 13
403:13x 31
234:2x 3x 3x 13
242:2x 11x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 13x 13 = 338
Therefore, the value for common factors is 338.
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 = 14537030508/(1x338)
LCM = 14537030508/338
LCM = 43008966
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 637,403,234,242 is 43008966.
