Given numbers are 224,856,998,272
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 224,856,998,272 is 203320544.
Find LCM of 224,856,998,272 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 224, 856, 998, 272 |
| 2 | 112, 428, 499, 136 |
| 2 | 56, 214, 499, 68 |
| 2 | 28, 107, 499, 34 |
| 14, 107, 499, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 14 x 107 x 499 x 17 = 203320544
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 224,856,998,272 is 203320544.
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.
224 x 856 x 998 x 272 = 52050059264
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.
224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
998 : 1, 2, 499, 998
272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 224,856,998,272, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
856:2x 2x 2x 107
998:2x 499
272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17
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 2x 2x 2x 2 = 128
Therefore, the value for common factors is 128.
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 = 52050059264/(2x128)
LCM = 52050059264/256
LCM = 203320544
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 224,856,998,272 is 203320544.
