Given numbers are 236,118,588,731
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 236,118,588,731 is 25359852.
Find LCM of 236,118,588,731 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 236, 118, 588, 731 |
| 2 | 118, 59, 294, 731 |
| 59 | 59, 59, 147, 731 |
| 1, 1, 147, 731 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 59 x 1 x 1 x 147 x 731 = 25359852
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 236,118,588,731 is 25359852.
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.
236 x 118 x 588 x 731 = 11969850144
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.
236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 236,118,588,731, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
236:2x 2x 59
118:2x 59
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7
731:17x 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 2x 59 = 472
Therefore, the value for common factors is 472.
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 = 11969850144/(1x472)
LCM = 11969850144/472
LCM = 25359852
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 236,118,588,731 is 25359852.
