Given numbers are 942,231,851
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 942,231,851 is 61726434.
Find LCM of 942,231,851 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 942, 231, 851 |
| 314, 77, 851 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 314 x 77 x 851 = 61726434
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 942,231,851 is 61726434.
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.
942 x 231 x 851 = 185179302
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.
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
851 : 1, 23, 37, 851
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 942,231,851, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
942:2x 3x 157
231:3x 7x 11
851:23x 37
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3 = 3
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3.
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 = 185179302/(1x3)
LCM = 185179302/3
LCM = 61726434
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 942,231,851 is 61726434.
