Given numbers are 188,435,470,394,940
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 188,435,470,394,940 is 16110660.
Find LCM of 188,435,470,394,940 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 188, 435, 470, 394, 940 |
| 2 | 94, 435, 235, 197, 470 |
| 5 | 47, 435, 235, 197, 235 |
| 47 | 47, 87, 47, 197, 47 |
| 1, 87, 1, 197, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 47 x 1 x 87 x 1 x 197 x 1 = 16110660
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,435,470,394,940 is 16110660.
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 435 x 470 x 394 x 940 = 14235379176000
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
435 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 29, 87, 145, 435
470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470
394 : 1, 2, 197, 394
940 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,435,470,394,940, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
188:2x 2x 47
435:3x 5x 29
470:2x 5x 47
394:2x 197
940:2x 2x 5x 47
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 2x 5x 5x 47x 47 = 883600
Therefore, the value for common factors is 883600.
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 = 14235379176000/(1x883600)
LCM = 14235379176000/883600
LCM = 16110660
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,435,470,394,940 is 16110660.
