Given numbers are 740,278,832,962
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 740,278,832,962 is 21394880.
Find LCM of 740,278,832,962 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 740, 278, 832, 962 |
| 2 | 370, 139, 416, 481 |
| 13 | 185, 139, 208, 481 |
| 37 | 185, 139, 16, 37 |
| 5, 139, 16, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 37 x 5 x 139 x 16 x 1 = 21394880
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 740,278,832,962 is 21394880.
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.
740 x 278 x 832 x 962 = 164654996480
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.
740 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 37, 74, 148, 185, 370, 740
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
832 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 32, 52, 64, 104, 208, 416, 832
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 740,278,832,962, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
740:2x 2x 5x 37
278:2x 139
832:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 13
962:2x 13x 37
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 2x 13x 37 = 3848
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3848.
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 = 164654996480/(2x3848)
LCM = 164654996480/7696
LCM = 21394880
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 740,278,832,962 is 21394880.
