Given numbers are 280,656,246,242,608
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 280,656,246,242,608 is 316710240.
Find LCM of 280,656,246,242,608 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 280, 656, 246, 242, 608 |
| 2 | 140, 328, 123, 121, 304 |
| 2 | 70, 164, 123, 121, 152 |
| 2 | 35, 82, 123, 121, 76 |
| 41 | 35, 41, 123, 121, 38 |
| 35, 1, 3, 121, 38 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41 x 35 x 1 x 3 x 121 x 38 = 316710240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 280,656,246,242,608 is 316710240.
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.
280 x 656 x 246 x 242 x 608 = 6648381358080
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.
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656
246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
608 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 76, 152, 304, 608
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 280,656,246,242,608, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41
246:2x 3x 41
242:2x 11x 11
608:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 19
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 41 = 10496
Therefore, the value for common factors is 10496.
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 = 6648381358080/(2x10496)
LCM = 6648381358080/20992
LCM = 316710240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 280,656,246,242,608 is 316710240.
