Given numbers are 3,252,648,144
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 3,252,648,144 is 9072.
Find LCM of 3,252,648,144 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 3, 252, 648, 144 |
| 2 | 3, 126, 324, 72 |
| 2 | 3, 63, 162, 36 |
| 3 | 3, 63, 81, 18 |
| 3 | 1, 21, 27, 6 |
| 1, 7, 9, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 7 x 9 x 2 = 9072
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3,252,648,144 is 9072.
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 252 x 648 x 144 = 70543872
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
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
648 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 81, 108, 162, 216, 324, 648
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3,252,648,144, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
3:3
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
648:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
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 3x 3x 3x 3 = 2592
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2592.
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 = 70543872/(3x2592)
LCM = 70543872/7776
LCM = 9072
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3,252,648,144 is 9072.
