The LCM of 240,136,899,986 is 3667920.
Find LCM of 240,136,899,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 240, 136, 899, 986 |
| 2 | 120, 68, 899, 493 |
| 2 | 60, 34, 899, 493 |
| 17 | 30, 17, 899, 493 |
| 29 | 30, 1, 899, 29 |
| 30, 1, 31, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 29 x 30 x 1 x 31 x 1 = 3667920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,136,899,986 is 3667920.
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.
240 x 136 x 899 x 986 = 28932552960
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.
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
136 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 68, 136
899 : 1, 29, 31, 899
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 240,136,899,986, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
136:2x 2x 2x 17
899:29x 31
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 17x 29 = 7888
Therefore, the value for common factors is 7888.
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 = 28932552960/(1x7888)
LCM = 28932552960/7888
LCM = 3667920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,136,899,986 is 3667920.
