Given numbers are 218,234,537,491
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 218,234,537,491 is 2241696834.
Find LCM of 218,234,537,491 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 218, 234, 537, 491 |
| 3 | 109, 117, 537, 491 |
| 109, 39, 179, 491 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 109 x 39 x 179 x 491 = 2241696834
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 218,234,537,491 is 2241696834.
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.
218 x 234 x 537 x 491 = 13450181004
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.
218 : 1, 2, 109, 218
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
491 : 1, 491
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 218,234,537,491, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
218:2x 109
234:2x 3x 3x 13
537:3x 179
491:491
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 13450181004/(1x6)
LCM = 13450181004/6
LCM = 2241696834
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 218,234,537,491 is 2241696834.
