Given numbers are 242,108,578,977,272
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 242,108,578,977,272 is 14759156016.
Find LCM of 242,108,578,977,272 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 242, 108, 578, 977, 272 |
| 2 | 121, 54, 289, 977, 136 |
| 17 | 121, 27, 289, 977, 68 |
| 121, 27, 17, 977, 4 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 17 x 121 x 27 x 17 x 977 x 4 = 14759156016
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,108,578,977,272 is 14759156016.
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.
242 x 108 x 578 x 977 x 272 = 4014490436352
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.
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
108 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108
578 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 289, 578
977 : 1, 977
272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,108,578,977,272, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
242:2x 11x 11
108:2x 2x 3x 3x 3
578:2x 17x 17
977:977
272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17
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 17 = 272
Therefore, the value for common factors is 272.
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 = 4014490436352/(1x272)
LCM = 4014490436352/272
LCM = 14759156016
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,108,578,977,272 is 14759156016.
