Given numbers are 786,842,282,840,474
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 786,842,282,840,474 is 172011556920.
Find LCM of 786,842,282,840,474 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 786, 842, 282, 840, 474 |
| 3 | 393, 421, 141, 420, 237 |
| 131, 421, 47, 140, 79 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 131 x 421 x 47 x 140 x 79 = 172011556920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 786,842,282,840,474 is 172011556920.
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.
786 x 842 x 282 x 840 x 474 = 74308992589440
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.
786 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282
840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840
474 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 79, 158, 237, 474
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 786,842,282,840,474, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
786:2x 3x 131
842:2x 421
282:2x 3x 47
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
474:2x 3x 79
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 3x 3x 3 = 216
Therefore, the value for common factors is 216.
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 = 74308992589440/(2x216)
LCM = 74308992589440/432
LCM = 172011556920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 786,842,282,840,474 is 172011556920.
