Given numbers are 138,383,242,748
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 138,383,242,748 is 217441356.
Find LCM of 138,383,242,748 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 138, 383, 242, 748 |
| 11 | 69, 383, 121, 374 |
| 69, 383, 11, 34 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 69 x 383 x 11 x 34 = 217441356
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 138,383,242,748 is 217441356.
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.
138 x 383 x 242 x 748 = 9567419664
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.
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
383 : 1, 383
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
748 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 22, 34, 44, 68, 187, 374, 748
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 138,383,242,748, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
138:2x 3x 23
383:383
242:2x 11x 11
748:2x 2x 11x 17
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 11 = 44
Therefore, the value for common factors is 44.
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 = 9567419664/(1x44)
LCM = 9567419664/44
LCM = 217441356
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 138,383,242,748 is 217441356.
