Given numbers are 861,123,242,159
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 861,123,242,159 is 11043186.
Find LCM of 861,123,242,159 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 861, 123, 242, 159 |
| 41 | 287, 41, 242, 53 |
| 7, 1, 242, 53 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 41 x 7 x 1 x 242 x 53 = 11043186
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 861,123,242,159 is 11043186.
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.
861 x 123 x 242 x 159 = 4074935634
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.
861 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861
123 : 1, 3, 41, 123
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 861,123,242,159, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
861:3x 7x 41
123:3x 41
242:2x 11x 11
159:3x 53
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 41 = 369
Therefore, the value for common factors is 369.
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 = 4074935634/(1x369)
LCM = 4074935634/369
LCM = 11043186
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 861,123,242,159 is 11043186.
