Given numbers are 252,946,990
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 252,946,990 is 595980.
Find LCM of 252,946,990 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 252, 946, 990 |
| 3 | 126, 473, 495 |
| 3 | 42, 473, 165 |
| 11 | 14, 473, 55 |
| 14, 43, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 14 x 43 x 5 = 595980
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 252,946,990 is 595980.
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.
252 x 946 x 990 = 236008080
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.
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 252,946,990, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
946:2x 11x 43
990:2x 3x 3x 5x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 11 = 198
Therefore, the value for common factors is 198.
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 = 236008080/(2x198)
LCM = 236008080/396
LCM = 595980
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 252,946,990 is 595980.
