Given numbers are 284,635,254,968
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 284,635,254,968 is 43642280.
Find LCM of 284,635,254,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 284, 635, 254, 968 |
| 2 | 142, 635, 127, 484 |
| 127 | 71, 635, 127, 242 |
| 71, 5, 1, 242 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 127 x 71 x 5 x 1 x 242 = 43642280
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 284,635,254,968 is 43642280.
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.
284 x 635 x 254 x 968 = 44340556480
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.
284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284
635 : 1, 5, 127, 635
254 : 1, 2, 127, 254
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 284,635,254,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
284:2x 2x 71
635:5x 127
254:2x 127
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 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 2x 2x 127 = 1016
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1016.
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 = 44340556480/(1x1016)
LCM = 44340556480/1016
LCM = 43642280
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 284,635,254,968 is 43642280.
