Given numbers are 188,437,428,506
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 188,437,428,506 is 96697612.
Find LCM of 188,437,428,506 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 188, 437, 428, 506 |
| 2 | 94, 437, 214, 253 |
| 23 | 47, 437, 107, 253 |
| 47, 19, 107, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 23 x 47 x 19 x 107 x 11 = 96697612
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,437,428,506 is 96697612.
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 437 x 428 x 506 = 17792360608
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
437 : 1, 19, 23, 437
428 : 1, 2, 4, 107, 214, 428
506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,437,428,506, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
188:2x 2x 47
437:19x 23
428:2x 2x 107
506:2x 11x 23
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 23 = 184
Therefore, the value for common factors is 184.
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 = 17792360608/(1x184)
LCM = 17792360608/184
LCM = 96697612
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,437,428,506 is 96697612.
