Given numbers are 674,657,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 674,657,842 is 186426378.
Find LCM of 674,657,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 674, 657, 842 |
| 337, 657, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 337 x 657 x 421 = 186426378
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 674,657,842 is 186426378.
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.
674 x 657 x 842 = 372852756
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.
674 : 1, 2, 337, 674
657 : 1, 3, 9, 73, 219, 657
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 674,657,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
674:2x 337
657:3x 3x 73
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 = 372852756/(1x2)
LCM = 372852756/2
LCM = 186426378
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 674,657,842 is 186426378.
