Given numbers are 242,968,436,182
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 242,968,436,182 is 9601592.
Find LCM of 242,968,436,182 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 242, 968, 436, 182 |
| 2 | 121, 484, 218, 91 |
| 11 | 121, 242, 109, 91 |
| 11 | 11, 22, 109, 91 |
| 1, 2, 109, 91 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 11 x 11 x 1 x 2 x 109 x 91 = 9601592
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,968,436,182 is 9601592.
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 968 x 436 x 182 = 18588682112
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
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436
182 : 1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 91, 182
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,968,436,182, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
242:2x 11x 11
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
436:2x 2x 109
182:2x 7x 13
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 11x 11 = 968
Therefore, the value for common factors is 968.
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 = 18588682112/(2x968)
LCM = 18588682112/1936
LCM = 9601592
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,968,436,182 is 9601592.
