The LCM of 208,969,846,988 is 28418832.
Find LCM of 208,969,846,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 208, 969, 846, 988 |
| 2 | 104, 969, 423, 494 |
| 3 | 52, 969, 423, 247 |
| 13 | 52, 323, 141, 247 |
| 19 | 4, 323, 141, 19 |
| 4, 17, 141, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 19 x 4 x 17 x 141 x 1 = 28418832
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 208,969,846,988 is 28418832.
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.
208 x 969 x 846 x 988 = 168466836096
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.
208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208
969 : 1, 3, 17, 19, 51, 57, 323, 969
846 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 208,969,846,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13
969:3x 17x 19
846:2x 3x 3x 47
988:2x 2x 13x 19
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 3x 13x 19 = 5928
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5928.
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 = 168466836096/(1x5928)
LCM = 168466836096/5928
LCM = 28418832
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 208,969,846,988 is 28418832.
