Given numbers are 867,842,120,168
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 867,842,120,168 is 102201960.
Find LCM of 867,842,120,168 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 867, 842, 120, 168 |
| 2 | 867, 421, 60, 84 |
| 2 | 867, 421, 30, 42 |
| 3 | 867, 421, 15, 21 |
| 289, 421, 5, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 289 x 421 x 5 x 7 = 102201960
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 867,842,120,168 is 102201960.
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.
867 x 842 x 120 x 168 = 14717082240
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.
867 : 1, 3, 17, 51, 289, 867
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 867,842,120,168, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
867:3x 17x 17
842:2x 421
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
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 2x 3x 3 = 144
Therefore, the value for common factors is 144.
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 = 14717082240/(1x144)
LCM = 14717082240/144
LCM = 102201960
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 867,842,120,168 is 102201960.
