Given numbers are 177,472,342,345,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 177,472,342,345,988 is 120664440.
Find LCM of 177,472,342,345,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 177, 472, 342, 345, 988 |
| 2 | 177, 236, 171, 345, 494 |
| 3 | 177, 118, 171, 345, 247 |
| 19 | 59, 118, 57, 115, 247 |
| 59 | 59, 118, 3, 115, 13 |
| 1, 2, 3, 115, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 59 x 1 x 2 x 3 x 115 x 13 = 120664440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 177,472,342,345,988 is 120664440.
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.
177 x 472 x 342 x 345 x 988 = 9739068281280
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.
177 : 1, 3, 59, 177
472 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 59, 118, 236, 472
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
345 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 23, 69, 115, 345
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 177,472,342,345,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
177:3x 59
472:2x 2x 2x 59
342:2x 3x 3x 19
345:3x 5x 23
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 3x 3x 19x 59 = 80712
Therefore, the value for common factors is 80712.
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 = 9739068281280/(1x80712)
LCM = 9739068281280/80712
LCM = 120664440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 177,472,342,345,988 is 120664440.
