Given numbers are 840,478,985,294
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 840,478,985,294 is 276848040.
Find LCM of 840,478,985,294 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 840, 478, 985, 294 |
| 3 | 420, 239, 985, 147 |
| 5 | 140, 239, 985, 49 |
| 7 | 28, 239, 197, 49 |
| 4, 239, 197, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 4 x 239 x 197 x 7 = 276848040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 840,478,985,294 is 276848040.
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 478 x 985 x 294 = 116276176800
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
478 : 1, 2, 239, 478
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 840,478,985,294, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
478:2x 239
985:5x 197
294:2x 3x 7x 7
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 5x 7 = 420
Therefore, the value for common factors is 420.
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 = 116276176800/(1x420)
LCM = 116276176800/420
LCM = 276848040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 840,478,985,294 is 276848040.
