Given numbers are 178,229,598,337,687
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 178,229,598,337,687 is 12321904218.
Find LCM of 178,229,598,337,687 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 178, 229, 598, 337, 687 |
| 229 | 89, 229, 299, 337, 687 |
| 89, 1, 299, 337, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 229 x 89 x 1 x 299 x 337 x 3 = 12321904218
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 178,229,598,337,687 is 12321904218.
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.
178 x 229 x 598 x 337 x 687 = 5643432131844
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.
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
229 : 1, 229
598 : 1, 2, 13, 23, 26, 46, 299, 598
337 : 1, 337
687 : 1, 3, 229, 687
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 178,229,598,337,687, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
178:2x 89
229:229
598:2x 13x 23
337:337
687:3x 229
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 229 = 458
Therefore, the value for common factors is 458.
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 = 5643432131844/(1x458)
LCM = 5643432131844/458
LCM = 12321904218
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 178,229,598,337,687 is 12321904218.
