Given numbers are 840,279,738,982
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 840,279,738,982 is 1572633720.
Find LCM of 840,279,738,982 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 840, 279, 738, 982 |
| 3 | 420, 279, 369, 491 |
| 3 | 140, 93, 123, 491 |
| 140, 31, 41, 491 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 140 x 31 x 41 x 491 = 1572633720
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 840,279,738,982 is 1572633720.
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.
840 x 279 x 738 x 982 = 169844441760
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.
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
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
738 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738
982 : 1, 2, 491, 982
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 840,279,738,982, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
279:3x 3x 31
738:2x 3x 3x 41
982:2x 491
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 3x 3x 3 = 108
Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.
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 = 169844441760/(1x108)
LCM = 169844441760/108
LCM = 1572633720
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 840,279,738,982 is 1572633720.
