Given numbers are 940,862,432,285
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 940,862,432,285 is 831347280.
Find LCM of 940,862,432,285 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 940, 862, 432, 285 |
| 2 | 470, 431, 216, 285 |
| 3 | 235, 431, 108, 285 |
| 5 | 235, 431, 36, 95 |
| 47, 431, 36, 19 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 47 x 431 x 36 x 19 = 831347280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 940,862,432,285 is 831347280.
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.
940 x 862 x 432 x 285 = 99761673600
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.
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
285 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 57, 95, 285
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 940,862,432,285, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
940:2x 2x 5x 47
862:2x 431
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
285:3x 5x 19
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 3x 5 = 120
Therefore, the value for common factors is 120.
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 = 99761673600/(1x120)
LCM = 99761673600/120
LCM = 831347280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 940,862,432,285 is 831347280.
