Given numbers are 187,188,962,296
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 187,188,962,296 is 33820072.
Find LCM of 187,188,962,296 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 187, 188, 962, 296 |
| 2 | 187, 94, 481, 148 |
| 37 | 187, 47, 481, 74 |
| 187, 47, 13, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 37 x 187 x 47 x 13 x 2 = 33820072
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 187,188,962,296 is 33820072.
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.
187 x 188 x 962 x 296 = 10010741312
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.
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
296 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 37, 74, 148, 296
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 187,188,962,296, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
187:11x 17
188:2x 2x 47
962:2x 13x 37
296:2x 2x 2x 37
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 37 = 296
Therefore, the value for common factors is 296.
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 = 10010741312/(1x296)
LCM = 10010741312/296
LCM = 33820072
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 187,188,962,296 is 33820072.
