Given numbers are 234,506,387
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 234,506,387 is 2545686.
Find LCM of 234,506,387 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 234, 506, 387 |
| 3 | 117, 253, 387 |
| 3 | 39, 253, 129 |
| 13, 253, 43 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 253 x 43 = 2545686
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 234,506,387 is 2545686.
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.
234 x 506 x 387 = 45822348
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.
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506
387 : 1, 3, 9, 43, 129, 387
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 234,506,387, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
234:2x 3x 3x 13
506:2x 11x 23
387:3x 3x 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 3x 3 = 18
Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.
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 = 45822348/(1x18)
LCM = 45822348/18
LCM = 2545686
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 234,506,387 is 2545686.
