Given numbers are 645,940,642
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 645,940,642 is 12974820.
Find LCM of 645,940,642 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 645, 940, 642 |
| 3 | 645, 470, 321 |
| 5 | 215, 470, 107 |
| 43, 94, 107 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 43 x 94 x 107 = 12974820
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 645,940,642 is 12974820.
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.
645 x 940 x 642 = 389244600
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.
645 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 43, 129, 215, 645
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 645,940,642, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
645:3x 5x 43
940:2x 2x 5x 47
642:2x 3x 107
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 5 = 30
Therefore, the value for common factors is 30.
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 = 389244600/(1x30)
LCM = 389244600/30
LCM = 12974820
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 645,940,642 is 12974820.
