Given numbers are 234,731,304,494
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 234,731,304,494 is 26000208.
Find LCM of 234,731,304,494 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 234, 731, 304, 494 |
| 13 | 117, 731, 152, 247 |
| 19 | 9, 731, 152, 19 |
| 9, 731, 8, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 19 x 9 x 731 x 8 x 1 = 26000208
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 234,731,304,494 is 26000208.
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 731 x 304 x 494 = 25688205504
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
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304
494 : 1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 234,731,304,494, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
234:2x 3x 3x 13
731:17x 43
304:2x 2x 2x 2x 19
494:2x 13x 19
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 13x 19 = 988
Therefore, the value for common factors is 988.
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 = 25688205504/(1x988)
LCM = 25688205504/988
LCM = 26000208
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 234,731,304,494 is 26000208.
