Given numbers are 188,550,600,242,862
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 188,550,600,242,862 is 1470658200.
Find LCM of 188,550,600,242,862 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 188, 550, 600, 242, 862 |
| 2 | 94, 275, 300, 121, 431 |
| 5 | 47, 275, 150, 121, 431 |
| 5 | 47, 55, 30, 121, 431 |
| 11 | 47, 11, 6, 121, 431 |
| 47, 1, 6, 11, 431 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 11 x 47 x 1 x 6 x 11 x 431 = 1470658200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,550,600,242,862 is 1470658200.
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 550 x 600 x 242 x 862 = 12941792160000
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
550 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 50, 55, 110, 275, 550
600 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 100, 120, 150, 200, 300, 600
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,550,600,242,862, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
188:2x 2x 47
550:2x 5x 5x 11
600:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 5
242:2x 11x 11
862:2x 431
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 11 = 4400
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4400.
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 = 12941792160000/(2x4400)
LCM = 12941792160000/8800
LCM = 1470658200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,550,600,242,862 is 1470658200.
