Given numbers are 955,948,421,158
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 955,948,421,158 is 381148140.
Find LCM of 955,948,421,158 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 955, 948, 421, 158 |
| 79 | 955, 474, 421, 79 |
| 955, 6, 421, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 79 x 955 x 6 x 421 x 1 = 381148140
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 955,948,421,158 is 381148140.
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.
955 x 948 x 421 x 158 = 60221406120
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.
955 : 1, 5, 191, 955
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
421 : 1, 421
158 : 1, 2, 79, 158
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 955,948,421,158, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
955:5x 191
948:2x 2x 3x 79
421:421
158:2x 79
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 79 = 158
Therefore, the value for common factors is 158.
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 = 60221406120/(1x158)
LCM = 60221406120/158
LCM = 381148140
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 955,948,421,158 is 381148140.
