Given numbers are 642,826,118,976
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 642,826,118,976 is 129391248.
Find LCM of 642,826,118,976 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 642, 826, 118, 976 |
| 59 | 321, 413, 59, 488 |
| 321, 7, 1, 488 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 59 x 321 x 7 x 1 x 488 = 129391248
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,826,118,976 is 129391248.
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 826 x 118 x 976 = 61072669056
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
826 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 59, 118, 413, 826
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
976 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 61, 122, 244, 488, 976
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,826,118,976, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
642:2x 3x 107
826:2x 7x 59
118:2x 59
976:2x 2x 2x 2x 61
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 59 = 236
Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.
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 = 61072669056/(2x236)
LCM = 61072669056/472
LCM = 129391248
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,826,118,976 is 129391248.
