Given numbers are 642,518,406
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 642,518,406 is 4822062.
Find LCM of 642,518,406 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 642, 518, 406 |
| 7 | 321, 259, 203 |
| 321, 37, 29 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 321 x 37 x 29 = 4822062
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,518,406 is 4822062.
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 518 x 406 = 135017736
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
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
406 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 29, 58, 203, 406
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,518,406, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
642:2x 3x 107
518:2x 7x 37
406:2x 7x 29
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7 = 14
Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.
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 = 135017736/(2x14)
LCM = 135017736/28
LCM = 4822062
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,518,406 is 4822062.
