Given numbers are 949,865,240,421
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 949,865,240,421 is 16588444080.
Find LCM of 949,865,240,421 with Prime Factorization
| 5 | 949, 865, 240, 421 |
| 949, 173, 48, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
5 x 949 x 173 x 48 x 421 = 16588444080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 949,865,240,421 is 16588444080.
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 865 x 240 x 421 = 82942220400
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
865 : 1, 5, 173, 865
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
421 : 1, 421
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 949,865,240,421, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
949:13x 73
865:5x 173
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
421:421
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
5 = 5
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5.
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 = 82942220400/(1x5)
LCM = 82942220400/5
LCM = 16588444080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 949,865,240,421 is 16588444080.
