The LCM of 188,857,861,984 is 277441752.
Find LCM of 188,857,861,984 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 188, 857, 861, 984 |
| 2 | 94, 857, 861, 492 |
| 3 | 47, 857, 861, 246 |
| 41 | 47, 857, 287, 82 |
| 47, 857, 7, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 47 x 857 x 7 x 2 = 277441752
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 188,857,861,984 is 277441752.
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 857 x 861 x 984 = 136501341984
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
857 : 1, 857
861 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861
984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 188,857,861,984, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
188:2x 2x 47
857:857
861:3x 7x 41
984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41
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 3x 41 = 492
Therefore, the value for common factors is 492.
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 = 136501341984/(1x492)
LCM = 136501341984/492
LCM = 277441752
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 188,857,861,984 is 277441752.
