Given numbers are 156,437,154,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 156,437,154,988 is 5249244.
Find LCM of 156,437,154,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 156, 437, 154, 988 |
| 2 | 78, 437, 77, 494 |
| 13 | 39, 437, 77, 247 |
| 19 | 3, 437, 77, 19 |
| 3, 23, 77, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 19 x 3 x 23 x 77 x 1 = 5249244
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 156,437,154,988 is 5249244.
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.
156 x 437 x 154 x 988 = 10372506144
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.
156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
437 : 1, 19, 23, 437
154 : 1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 77, 154
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 156,437,154,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
156:2x 2x 3x 13
437:19x 23
154:2x 7x 11
988:2x 2x 13x 19
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 13x 19 = 1976
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1976.
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 = 10372506144/(1x1976)
LCM = 10372506144/1976
LCM = 5249244
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 156,437,154,988 is 5249244.
