Given numbers are 942,396,159,682
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 942,396,159,682 is 102148596.
Find LCM of 942,396,159,682 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 942, 396, 159, 682 |
| 3 | 471, 198, 159, 341 |
| 11 | 157, 66, 53, 341 |
| 157, 6, 53, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 157 x 6 x 53 x 31 = 102148596
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 942,396,159,682 is 102148596.
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 396 x 159 x 682 = 40450844016
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
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
682 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 31, 62, 341, 682
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 942,396,159,682, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
942:2x 3x 157
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
159:3x 53
682:2x 11x 31
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 3x 11 = 396
Therefore, the value for common factors is 396.
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 = 40450844016/(1x396)
LCM = 40450844016/396
LCM = 102148596
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 942,396,159,682 is 102148596.
