Given numbers are 229,542,146,271,688
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 229,542,146,271,688 is 3116851216.
Find LCM of 229,542,146,271,688 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 229, 542, 146, 271, 688 |
| 271 | 229, 271, 73, 271, 344 |
| 229, 1, 73, 1, 344 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 271 x 229 x 1 x 73 x 1 x 344 = 3116851216
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 229,542,146,271,688 is 3116851216.
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.
229 x 542 x 146 x 271 x 688 = 3378666718144
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.
229 : 1, 229
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
146 : 1, 2, 73, 146
271 : 1, 271
688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 229,542,146,271,688, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
229:229
542:2x 271
146:2x 73
271:271
688:2x 2x 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 271 = 1084
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1084.
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 = 3378666718144/(1x1084)
LCM = 3378666718144/1084
LCM = 3116851216
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 229,542,146,271,688 is 3116851216.
