Given numbers are 898,480,261,843,542
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 898,480,261,843,542 is 1427849526240.
Find LCM of 898,480,261,843,542 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 898, 480, 261, 843, 542 |
| 3 | 449, 240, 261, 843, 271 |
| 449, 80, 87, 281, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 449 x 80 x 87 x 281 x 271 = 1427849526240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 898,480,261,843,542 is 1427849526240.
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.
898 x 480 x 261 x 843 x 542 = 51402582944640
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.
898 : 1, 2, 449, 898
480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
843 : 1, 3, 281, 843
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 898,480,261,843,542, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
898:2x 449
480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
261:3x 3x 29
843:3x 281
542:2x 271
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 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 51402582944640/(1x36)
LCM = 51402582944640/36
LCM = 1427849526240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 898,480,261,843,542 is 1427849526240.
