Given numbers are 842,187,442,489
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 842,187,442,489 is 1000935078.
Find LCM of 842,187,442,489 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 842, 187, 442, 489 |
| 17 | 421, 187, 221, 489 |
| 421, 11, 13, 489 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 421 x 11 x 13 x 489 = 1000935078
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,187,442,489 is 1000935078.
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.
842 x 187 x 442 x 489 = 34031792652
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.
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
489 : 1, 3, 163, 489
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,187,442,489, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
842:2x 421
187:11x 17
442:2x 13x 17
489:3x 163
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 17 = 34
Therefore, the value for common factors is 34.
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 = 34031792652/(1x34)
LCM = 34031792652/34
LCM = 1000935078
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,187,442,489 is 1000935078.
