Given numbers are 649,8728,842

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 649,8728,842 is 2384742712.

Find LCM of 649,8728,842 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 649 x 4364 x 421 = 2384742712

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 649,8728,842 is 2384742712.

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.

649 x 8728 x 842 = 4769485424

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.

649 : 1, 11, 59, 649

8728 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 1091, 2182, 4364, 8728

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 649,8728,842, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

649:11x 59

8728:2x 2x 2x 1091

842:2x 421

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 = 4769485424/(1x2)

LCM = 4769485424/2

LCM = 2384742712

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 649,8728,842 is 2384742712.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 235, 5482, 900
