Given numbers are 188,646,936,286
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 188,646,936,286 is 156303576.
Find LCM of 188,646,936,286 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 188, 646, 936, 286 |
| 2 | 94, 323, 468, 143 |
| 13 | 47, 323, 234, 143 |
| 47, 323, 18, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 47 x 323 x 18 x 11 = 156303576
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,646,936,286 is 156303576.
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 646 x 936 x 286 = 32511143808
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
646 : 1, 2, 17, 19, 34, 38, 323, 646
936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936
286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,646,936,286, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
188:2x 2x 47
646:2x 17x 19
936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13
286:2x 11x 13
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 13 = 104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.
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 = 32511143808/(2x104)
LCM = 32511143808/208
LCM = 156303576
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,646,936,286 is 156303576.
