Given numbers are 983,868,817,42
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 983,868,817,42 is 2091301044.
Find LCM of 983,868,817,42 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 983, 868, 817, 42 |
| 7 | 983, 434, 817, 21 |
| 983, 62, 817, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 983 x 62 x 817 x 3 = 2091301044
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 983,868,817,42 is 2091301044.
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.
983 x 868 x 817 x 42 = 29278214616
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.
983 : 1, 983
868 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 31, 62, 124, 217, 434, 868
817 : 1, 19, 43, 817
42 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 983,868,817,42, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
983:983
868:2x 2x 7x 31
817:19x 43
42:2x 3x 7
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7 = 14
Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.
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 = 29278214616/(1x14)
LCM = 29278214616/14
LCM = 2091301044
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 983,868,817,42 is 2091301044.
