Given numbers are 184,252,974,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 184,252,974,988 is 1394390088.
Find LCM of 184,252,974,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 184, 252, 974, 988 |
| 2 | 92, 126, 487, 494 |
| 46, 63, 487, 247 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 46 x 63 x 487 x 247 = 1394390088
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 184,252,974,988 is 1394390088.
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.
184 x 252 x 974 x 988 = 44620482816
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.
184 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
974 : 1, 2, 487, 974
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 184,252,974,988, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
184:2x 2x 2x 23
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
974:2x 487
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 2 = 16
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.
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 = 44620482816/(2x16)
LCM = 44620482816/32
LCM = 1394390088
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 184,252,974,988 is 1394390088.
