Given numbers are 236,988,368,502,684
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 236,988,368,502,684 is 12114709776.
Find LCM of 236,988,368,502,684 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 236, 988, 368, 502, 684 |
| 2 | 118, 494, 184, 251, 342 |
| 19 | 59, 247, 92, 251, 171 |
| 59, 13, 92, 251, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 19 x 59 x 13 x 92 x 251 x 9 = 12114709776
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 236,988,368,502,684 is 12114709776.
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 988 x 368 x 502 x 684 = 29462974175232
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
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
368 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368
502 : 1, 2, 251, 502
684 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 19, 36, 38, 57, 76, 114, 171, 228, 342, 684
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 236,988,368,502,684, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
236:2x 2x 59
988:2x 2x 13x 19
368:2x 2x 2x 2x 23
502:2x 251
684:2x 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.
2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 19 = 1216
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1216.
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 = 29462974175232/(2x1216)
LCM = 29462974175232/2432
LCM = 12114709776
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 236,988,368,502,684 is 12114709776.
