Calculate the LCM of 188,156,986,246

Given numbers are 188,156,986,246

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 188,156,986,246 is 148201716.

Find LCM of 188,156,986,246 with Prime Factorization


2 188, 156, 986, 246
2 94, 78, 493, 123
3 47, 39, 493, 123
47, 13, 493, 41

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 3 x 47 x 13 x 493 x 41 = 148201716

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,156,986,246 is 148201716.

LCM Formula to Find Lowest Common Multiple of 188,156,986,246

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.

188 x 156 x 986 x 246 = 7113682368

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.

188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,156,986,246, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

188:2x 2x 47

156:2x 2x 3x 13

986:2x 17x 29

246:2x 3x 41

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 7113682368/(2x24)

LCM = 7113682368/48

LCM = 148201716

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,156,986,246 is 148201716.
