Given numbers are 842,308,537,990
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 842,308,537,990 is 1044475740.
Find LCM of 842,308,537,990 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 842, 308, 537, 990 |
| 3 | 421, 154, 537, 495 |
| 11 | 421, 154, 179, 165 |
| 421, 14, 179, 15 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 421 x 14 x 179 x 15 = 1044475740
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,308,537,990 is 1044475740.
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 308 x 537 x 990 = 137870797680
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
308 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 77, 154, 308
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,308,537,990, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
842:2x 421
308:2x 2x 7x 11
537:3x 179
990:2x 3x 3x 5x 11
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 11 = 132
Therefore, the value for common factors is 132.
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 = 137870797680/(1x132)
LCM = 137870797680/132
LCM = 1044475740
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,308,537,990 is 1044475740.
