Given numbers are 3,731,114,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 3,731,114,988 is 2166684.
Find LCM of 3,731,114,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 3, 731, 114, 988 |
| 3 | 3, 731, 57, 494 |
| 19 | 1, 731, 19, 494 |
| 1, 731, 1, 26 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 19 x 1 x 731 x 1 x 26 = 2166684
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3,731,114,988 is 2166684.
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 731 x 114 x 988 = 247001976
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
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
114 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 19, 38, 57, 114
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3,731,114,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
3:3
731:17x 43
114:2x 3x 19
988:2x 2x 13x 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 3x 19 = 114
Therefore, the value for common factors is 114.
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 = 247001976/(1x114)
LCM = 247001976/114
LCM = 2166684
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3,731,114,988 is 2166684.
