Given numbers are 2,968,946,172
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 2,968,946,172 is 41624.
Find LCM of 2,968,946,172 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 2, 968, 946, 172 |
| 2 | 1, 484, 473, 86 |
| 11 | 1, 242, 473, 43 |
| 43 | 1, 22, 43, 43 |
| 1, 22, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 11 x 43 x 1 x 22 x 1 x 1 = 41624
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 2,968,946,172 is 41624.
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.
2 x 968 x 946 x 172 = 315010432
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.
2 : 1, 2
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 2,968,946,172, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
2:2
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
946:2x 11x 43
172:2x 2x 43
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 11x 43 = 3784
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3784.
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 = 315010432/(2x3784)
LCM = 315010432/7568
LCM = 41624
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 2,968,946,172 is 41624.
