Given numbers are 238,917,943,242
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 238,917,943,242 is 3557503334.
Find LCM of 238,917,943,242 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 238, 917, 943, 242 |
| 7 | 119, 917, 943, 121 |
| 17, 131, 943, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 17 x 131 x 943 x 121 = 3557503334
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 238,917,943,242 is 3557503334.
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.
238 x 917 x 943 x 242 = 49805046676
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.
238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
917 : 1, 7, 131, 917
943 : 1, 23, 41, 943
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 238,917,943,242, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
238:2x 7x 17
917:7x 131
943:23x 41
242:2x 11x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7 = 14
Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.
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 = 49805046676/(1x14)
LCM = 49805046676/14
LCM = 3557503334
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 238,917,943,242 is 3557503334.
