Given numbers are 660,221,979,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 660,221,979,842 is 5465228340.
Find LCM of 660,221,979,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 660, 221, 979, 842 |
| 11 | 330, 221, 979, 421 |
| 30, 221, 89, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 30 x 221 x 89 x 421 = 5465228340
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 660,221,979,842 is 5465228340.
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.
660 x 221 x 979 x 842 = 120235023480
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.
660 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 30, 33, 44, 55, 60, 66, 110, 132, 165, 220, 330, 660
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
979 : 1, 11, 89, 979
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 660,221,979,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
660:2x 2x 3x 5x 11
221:13x 17
979:11x 89
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.
2x 11 = 22
Therefore, the value for common factors is 22.
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 = 120235023480/(1x22)
LCM = 120235023480/22
LCM = 5465228340
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 660,221,979,842 is 5465228340.
