The LCM of 946,429,542,990 is 149974110.
Find LCM of 946,429,542,990 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 946, 429, 542, 990 |
| 3 | 473, 429, 271, 495 |
| 11 | 473, 143, 271, 165 |
| 43, 13, 271, 15 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 43 x 13 x 271 x 15 = 149974110
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 946,429,542,990 is 149974110.
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.
946 x 429 x 542 x 990 = 217762407720
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.
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 946,429,542,990, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
946:2x 11x 43
429:3x 11x 13
542:2x 271
990:2x 3x 3x 5x 11
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 11x 11 = 1452
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1452.
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 = 217762407720/(1x1452)
LCM = 217762407720/1452
LCM = 149974110
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 946,429,542,990 is 149974110.
