Given numbers are 187,738,286,715
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 187,738,286,715 is 8970390.
Find LCM of 187,738,286,715 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 187, 738, 286, 715 |
| 11 | 187, 369, 143, 715 |
| 13 | 17, 369, 13, 65 |
| 17, 369, 1, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 13 x 17 x 369 x 1 x 5 = 8970390
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 187,738,286,715 is 8970390.
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 738 x 286 x 715 = 28220846940
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
738 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 41, 82, 123, 246, 369, 738
286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286
715 : 1, 5, 11, 13, 55, 65, 143, 715
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 187,738,286,715, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
187:11x 17
738:2x 3x 3x 41
286:2x 11x 13
715:5x 11x 13
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 11x 11x 13 = 3146
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3146.
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 = 28220846940/(1x3146)
LCM = 28220846940/3146
LCM = 8970390
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 187,738,286,715 is 8970390.
