Given numbers are 231,156,352,538,187
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 231,156,352,538,187 is 439447008.
Find LCM of 231,156,352,538,187 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 231, 156, 352, 538, 187 |
| 2 | 231, 78, 176, 269, 187 |
| 3 | 231, 39, 88, 269, 187 |
| 11 | 77, 13, 88, 269, 187 |
| 7, 13, 8, 269, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 7 x 13 x 8 x 269 x 17 = 439447008
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 231,156,352,538,187 is 439447008.
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.
231 x 156 x 352 x 538 x 187 = 1276154111232
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.
231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
352 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 88, 176, 352
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 231,156,352,538,187, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
231:3x 7x 11
156:2x 2x 3x 13
352:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 11
538:2x 269
187:11x 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 3x 11x 11 = 2904
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2904.
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 = 1276154111232/(1x2904)
LCM = 1276154111232/2904
LCM = 439447008
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 231,156,352,538,187 is 439447008.
