Given numbers are 240,872,536,380,946
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 240,872,536,380,946 is 15751694640.
Find LCM of 240,872,536,380,946 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 240, 872, 536, 380, 946 |
| 2 | 120, 436, 268, 190, 473 |
| 2 | 60, 218, 134, 95, 473 |
| 5 | 30, 109, 67, 95, 473 |
| 6, 109, 67, 19, 473 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 6 x 109 x 67 x 19 x 473 = 15751694640
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,872,536,380,946 is 15751694640.
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 872 x 536 x 380 x 946 = 40324338278400
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
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
536 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 67, 134, 268, 536
380 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 19, 20, 38, 76, 95, 190, 380
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,872,536,380,946, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
872:2x 2x 2x 109
536:2x 2x 2x 67
380:2x 2x 5x 19
946:2x 11x 43
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 2x 2x 5 = 1280
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1280.
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 = 40324338278400/(2x1280)
LCM = 40324338278400/2560
LCM = 15751694640
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,872,536,380,946 is 15751694640.
