Given numbers are 173,346,468,938
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 173,346,468,938 is 37972116.
Find LCM of 173,346,468,938 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 173, 346, 468, 938 |
| 173 | 173, 173, 234, 469 |
| 1, 1, 234, 469 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 173 x 1 x 1 x 234 x 469 = 37972116
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 173,346,468,938 is 37972116.
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.
173 x 346 x 468 x 938 = 26276704272
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.
173 : 1, 173
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
938 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 67, 134, 469, 938
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 173,346,468,938, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
173:173
346:2x 173
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
938:2x 7x 67
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 173 = 692
Therefore, the value for common factors is 692.
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 = 26276704272/(1x692)
LCM = 26276704272/692
LCM = 37972116
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 173,346,468,938 is 37972116.
