Given numbers are 188,261,426,809
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 188,261,426,809 is 2818416852.
Find LCM of 188,261,426,809 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 188, 261, 426, 809 |
| 3 | 94, 261, 213, 809 |
| 94, 87, 71, 809 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 94 x 87 x 71 x 809 = 2818416852
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,261,426,809 is 2818416852.
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 261 x 426 x 809 = 16910501112
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
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426
809 : 1, 809
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,261,426,809, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
188:2x 2x 47
261:3x 3x 29
426:2x 3x 71
809:809
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 16910501112/(1x6)
LCM = 16910501112/6
LCM = 2818416852
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,261,426,809 is 2818416852.
