Given numbers are 842,603,138,391
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 842,603,138,391 is 198520866.
Find LCM of 842,603,138,391 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 842, 603, 138, 391 |
| 3 | 421, 603, 69, 391 |
| 23 | 421, 201, 23, 391 |
| 421, 201, 1, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 23 x 421 x 201 x 1 x 17 = 198520866
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 842,603,138,391 is 198520866.
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 603 x 138 x 391 = 27395879508
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
603 : 1, 3, 9, 67, 201, 603
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 842,603,138,391, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
842:2x 421
603:3x 3x 67
138:2x 3x 23
391:17x 23
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 23 = 138
Therefore, the value for common factors is 138.
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 = 27395879508/(1x138)
LCM = 27395879508/138
LCM = 198520866
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 842,603,138,391 is 198520866.
