Given numbers are 240,884,466
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 240,884,466 is 12358320.
Find LCM of 240,884,466 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 240, 884, 466 |
| 2 | 120, 442, 233 |
| 60, 221, 233 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 60 x 221 x 233 = 12358320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 240,884,466 is 12358320.
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 884 x 466 = 98866560
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
884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884
466 : 1, 2, 233, 466
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 240,884,466, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
884:2x 2x 13x 17
466:2x 233
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 98866560/(2x4)
LCM = 98866560/8
LCM = 12358320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 240,884,466 is 12358320.
