Given numbers are 952,862,431,940
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 952,862,431,940 is 96423320.
Find LCM of 952,862,431,940 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 952, 862, 431, 940 |
| 2 | 476, 431, 431, 470 |
| 431 | 238, 431, 431, 235 |
| 238, 1, 1, 235 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 431 x 238 x 1 x 1 x 235 = 96423320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 952,862,431,940 is 96423320.
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.
952 x 862 x 431 x 940 = 332467607360
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.
952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
431 : 1, 431
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 952,862,431,940, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17
862:2x 431
431:431
940:2x 2x 5x 47
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 2x 431 = 3448
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3448.
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 = 332467607360/(1x3448)
LCM = 332467607360/3448
LCM = 96423320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 952,862,431,940 is 96423320.
