The LCM of 831,884,856,642 is 157205256.
Find LCM of 831,884,856,642 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 831, 884, 856, 642 |
| 2 | 831, 442, 428, 321 |
| 3 | 831, 221, 214, 321 |
| 107 | 277, 221, 214, 107 |
| 277, 221, 2, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 107 x 277 x 221 x 2 x 1 = 157205256
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 831,884,856,642 is 157205256.
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.
831 x 884 x 856 x 642 = 403703097408
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.
831 : 1, 3, 277, 831
884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 831,884,856,642, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
831:3x 277
884:2x 2x 13x 17
856:2x 2x 2x 107
642:2x 3x 107
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 107 = 2568
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2568.
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 = 403703097408/(1x2568)
LCM = 403703097408/2568
LCM = 157205256
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 831,884,856,642 is 157205256.
