Given numbers are 238,952,612,538
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 238,952,612,538 is 2304792.
Find LCM of 238,952,612,538 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 238, 952, 612, 538 |
| 2 | 119, 476, 306, 269 |
| 7 | 119, 238, 153, 269 |
| 17 | 17, 34, 153, 269 |
| 1, 2, 9, 269 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 17 x 1 x 2 x 9 x 269 = 2304792
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 238,952,612,538 is 2304792.
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 952 x 612 x 538 = 74601507456
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
952 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 28, 34, 56, 68, 119, 136, 238, 476, 952
612 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 238,952,612,538, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
238:2x 7x 17
952:2x 2x 2x 7x 17
612:2x 2x 3x 3x 17
538:2x 269
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 7x 17x 17 = 16184
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16184.
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 = 74601507456/(2x16184)
LCM = 74601507456/32368
LCM = 2304792
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 238,952,612,538 is 2304792.
