Given numbers are 287,242,438,865
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 287,242,438,865 is 13157018490.
Find LCM of 287,242,438,865 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 287, 242, 438, 865 |
| 287, 121, 219, 865 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 287 x 121 x 219 x 865 = 13157018490
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 287,242,438,865 is 13157018490.
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.
287 x 242 x 438 x 865 = 26314036980
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.
287 : 1, 7, 41, 287
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438
865 : 1, 5, 173, 865
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 287,242,438,865, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
287:7x 41
242:2x 11x 11
438:2x 3x 73
865:5x 173
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 26314036980/(1x2)
LCM = 26314036980/2
LCM = 13157018490
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 287,242,438,865 is 13157018490.
