Given numbers are 949,338,942,162
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 949,338,942,162 is 313779258.
Find LCM of 949,338,942,162 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 949, 338, 942, 162 |
| 3 | 949, 169, 471, 81 |
| 13 | 949, 169, 157, 27 |
| 73, 13, 157, 27 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 13 x 73 x 13 x 157 x 27 = 313779258
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 949,338,942,162 is 313779258.
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.
949 x 338 x 942 x 162 = 48949564248
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.
949 : 1, 13, 73, 949
338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 949,338,942,162, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
949:13x 73
338:2x 13x 13
942:2x 3x 157
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 13 = 156
Therefore, the value for common factors is 156.
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 = 48949564248/(1x156)
LCM = 48949564248/156
LCM = 313779258
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 949,338,942,162 is 313779258.
