Given numbers are 138,418,324,234
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 138,418,324,234 is 20247084.
Find LCM of 138,418,324,234 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 138, 418, 324, 234 |
| 3 | 69, 209, 162, 117 |
| 3 | 23, 209, 54, 39 |
| 23, 209, 18, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 23 x 209 x 18 x 13 = 20247084
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 138,418,324,234 is 20247084.
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 418 x 324 x 234 = 4373370144
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
418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418
324 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 324
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 138,418,324,234, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
138:2x 3x 23
418:2x 11x 19
324:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3
234:2x 3x 3x 13
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 3x 3x 3 = 108
Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.
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 = 4373370144/(2x108)
LCM = 4373370144/216
LCM = 20247084
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 138,418,324,234 is 20247084.
