Given numbers are 945,940,638,278
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 945,940,638,278 is 7877622060.
Find LCM of 945,940,638,278 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 945, 940, 638, 278 |
| 5 | 945, 470, 319, 139 |
| 189, 94, 319, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 189 x 94 x 319 x 139 = 7877622060
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 945,940,638,278 is 7877622060.
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.
945 x 940 x 638 x 278 = 157552441200
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.
945 : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 27, 35, 45, 63, 105, 135, 189, 315, 945
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 945,940,638,278, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
945:3x 3x 3x 5x 7
940:2x 2x 5x 47
638:2x 11x 29
278:2x 139
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 5 = 20
Therefore, the value for common factors is 20.
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 = 157552441200/(1x20)
LCM = 157552441200/20
LCM = 7877622060
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 945,940,638,278 is 7877622060.
