Given numbers are 237,505,950,285
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 237,505,950,285 is 22740150.
Find LCM of 237,505,950,285 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 237, 505, 950, 285 |
| 5 | 79, 505, 950, 95 |
| 19 | 79, 101, 190, 19 |
| 79, 101, 10, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 5 x 19 x 79 x 101 x 10 x 1 = 22740150
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 237,505,950,285 is 22740150.
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.
237 x 505 x 950 x 285 = 32404713750
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.
237 : 1, 3, 79, 237
505 : 1, 5, 101, 505
950 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950
285 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 57, 95, 285
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 237,505,950,285, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
237:3x 79
505:5x 101
950:2x 5x 5x 19
285:3x 5x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 5x 5x 19 = 1425
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1425.
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 = 32404713750/(1x1425)
LCM = 32404713750/1425
LCM = 22740150
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 237,505,950,285 is 22740150.
