Find LCM of 144,248,343,588 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 144, 248, 343, 588 |
| 2 | 72, 124, 343, 294 |
| 2 | 36, 62, 343, 147 |
| 3 | 18, 31, 343, 147 |
| 7 | 6, 31, 343, 49 |
| 7 | 6, 31, 7, 49 |
| 6, 31, 1, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 6 x 31 x 1 x 7 = 1531152
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 144,248,343,588 is 1531152.
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.
144 x 248 x 343 x 588 = 7202539008
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.
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248
343 : 1, 7, 49, 343
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 144,248,343,588, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
248:2x 2x 2x 31
343:7x 7x 7
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 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 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7x 7 = 4704
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4704.
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 = 7202539008/(1x4704)
LCM = 7202539008/4704
LCM = 1531152
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 144,248,343,588 is 1531152.
