Given numbers are 235,508,342
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 235,508,342 is 20413980.
Find LCM of 235,508,342 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 235, 508, 342 |
| 235, 254, 171 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 235 x 254 x 171 = 20413980
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 235,508,342 is 20413980.
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.
235 x 508 x 342 = 40827960
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.
235 : 1, 5, 47, 235
508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 235,508,342, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
235:5x 47
508:2x 2x 127
342:2x 3x 3x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 40827960/(1x2)
LCM = 40827960/2
LCM = 20413980
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 235,508,342 is 20413980.
