Given numbers are 642,978,598,360
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 642,978,598,360 is 1877349240.
Find LCM of 642,978,598,360 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 642, 978, 598, 360 |
| 3 | 321, 489, 299, 180 |
| 107, 163, 299, 60 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 107 x 163 x 299 x 60 = 1877349240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,978,598,360 is 1877349240.
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 978 x 598 x 360 = 135169145280
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
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
598 : 1, 2, 13, 23, 26, 46, 299, 598
360 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,978,598,360, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
642:2x 3x 107
978:2x 3x 163
598:2x 13x 23
360:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
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 3x 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 135169145280/(2x36)
LCM = 135169145280/72
LCM = 1877349240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,978,598,360 is 1877349240.
