Given numbers are 642,878,883
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 642,878,883 is 248862954.
Find LCM of 642,878,883 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 642, 878, 883 |
| 321, 439, 883 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 321 x 439 x 883 = 248862954
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,878,883 is 248862954.
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 878 x 883 = 497725908
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
878 : 1, 2, 439, 878
883 : 1, 883
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,878,883, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
642:2x 3x 107
878:2x 439
883:883
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 497725908/(1x2)
LCM = 497725908/2
LCM = 248862954
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,878,883 is 248862954.
