Given numbers are 908,427,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 908,427,842 is 163228436.
Find LCM of 908,427,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 908, 427, 842 |
| 454, 427, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 454 x 427 x 421 = 163228436
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 908,427,842 is 163228436.
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.
908 x 427 x 842 = 326456872
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.
908 : 1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908
427 : 1, 7, 61, 427
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 908,427,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
908:2x 2x 227
427:7x 61
842:2x 421
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 326456872/(1x2)
LCM = 326456872/2
LCM = 163228436
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 908,427,842 is 163228436.
