Given numbers are 994,857,142

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 994,857,142 is 851858.

Find LCM of 994,857,142 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 71 x 7 x 857 x 1 = 851858

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 994,857,142 is 851858.

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.

994 x 857 x 142 = 120963836

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.

994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994

857 : 1, 857

142 : 1, 2, 71, 142

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 994,857,142, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

994:2x 7x 71

857:857

142:2x 71

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 71 = 142

Therefore, the value for common factors is 142.

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 = 120963836/(1x142)

LCM = 120963836/142

LCM = 851858

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 994,857,142 is 851858.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 533, 981, 543
• LCM of 481, 837, 820
