Given numbers are 148,346,308,546
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 148,346,308,546 is 76888812.
Find LCM of 148,346,308,546 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 148, 346, 308, 546 |
| 2 | 74, 173, 154, 273 |
| 7 | 37, 173, 77, 273 |
| 37, 173, 11, 39 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 37 x 173 x 11 x 39 = 76888812
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 148,346,308,546 is 76888812.
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.
148 x 346 x 308 x 546 = 8611546944
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.
148 : 1, 2, 4, 37, 74, 148
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
308 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 77, 154, 308
546 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 21, 26, 39, 42, 78, 91, 182, 273, 546
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 148,346,308,546, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
148:2x 2x 37
346:2x 173
308:2x 2x 7x 11
546:2x 3x 7x 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 2x 7 = 56
Therefore, the value for common factors is 56.
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 = 8611546944/(2x56)
LCM = 8611546944/112
LCM = 76888812
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 148,346,308,546 is 76888812.
