Given numbers are 642,476,429,644
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 642,476,429,644 is 502546044.
Find LCM of 642,476,429,644 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 642, 476, 429, 644 |
| 2 | 321, 238, 429, 322 |
| 3 | 321, 119, 429, 161 |
| 7 | 107, 119, 143, 161 |
| 107, 17, 143, 23 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 107 x 17 x 143 x 23 = 502546044
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,476,429,644 is 502546044.
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.
642 x 476 x 429 x 644 = 84427735392
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.
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
476 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 17, 28, 34, 68, 119, 238, 476
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
644 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 23, 28, 46, 92, 161, 322, 644
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,476,429,644, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
642:2x 3x 107
476:2x 2x 7x 17
429:3x 11x 13
644:2x 2x 7x 23
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 3x 7 = 168
Therefore, the value for common factors is 168.
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 = 84427735392/(1x168)
LCM = 84427735392/168
LCM = 502546044
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,476,429,644 is 502546044.
