Given numbers are 236,118,896,885,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 236,118,896,885,986 is 390929280.
Find LCM of 236,118,896,885,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 236, 118, 896, 885, 986 |
| 2 | 118, 59, 448, 885, 493 |
| 59 | 59, 59, 224, 885, 493 |
| 1, 1, 224, 15, 493 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 59 x 1 x 1 x 224 x 15 x 493 = 390929280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 236,118,896,885,986 is 390929280.
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 896 x 885 x 986 = 21773197178880
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
896 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 64, 112, 128, 224, 448, 896
885 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 59, 177, 295, 885
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 236,118,896,885,986, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
236:2x 2x 59
118:2x 59
896:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
885:3x 5x 59
986:2x 17x 29
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 2x 59x 59 = 55696
Therefore, the value for common factors is 55696.
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 = 21773197178880/(1x55696)
LCM = 21773197178880/55696
LCM = 390929280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 236,118,896,885,986 is 390929280.
