Given numbers are 3,138,886,368
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 3,138,886,368 is 489072.
Find LCM of 3,138,886,368 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 3, 138, 886, 368 |
| 3 | 3, 69, 443, 184 |
| 23 | 1, 23, 443, 184 |
| 1, 1, 443, 8 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 23 x 1 x 1 x 443 x 8 = 489072
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3,138,886,368 is 489072.
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.
3 x 138 x 886 x 368 = 134983872
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.
3 : 1, 3
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
886 : 1, 2, 443, 886
368 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3,138,886,368, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
3:3
138:2x 3x 23
886:2x 443
368:2x 2x 2x 2x 23
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 3x 23 = 276
Therefore, the value for common factors is 276.
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 = 134983872/(1x276)
LCM = 134983872/276
LCM = 489072
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3,138,886,368 is 489072.
