Given numbers are 840,736,100
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 840,736,100 is 386400.
Find LCM of 840,736,100 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 840, 736, 100 |
| 2 | 420, 368, 50 |
| 2 | 210, 184, 25 |
| 5 | 105, 92, 25 |
| 21, 92, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 21 x 92 x 5 = 386400
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 840,736,100 is 386400.
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 736 x 100 = 61824000
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
736 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 32, 46, 92, 184, 368, 736
100 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 840,736,100, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
736:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 23
100:2x 2x 5x 5
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 5 = 40
Therefore, the value for common factors is 40.
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 = 61824000/(4x40)
LCM = 61824000/160
LCM = 386400
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 840,736,100 is 386400.
