Given numbers are 304,221,248,637
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 304,221,248,637 is 102052496.
Find LCM of 304,221,248,637 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 304, 221, 248, 637 |
| 2 | 152, 221, 124, 637 |
| 2 | 76, 221, 62, 637 |
| 13 | 38, 221, 31, 637 |
| 38, 17, 31, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 38 x 17 x 31 x 49 = 102052496
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 304,221,248,637 is 102052496.
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.
304 x 221 x 248 x 637 = 10613459584
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.
304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
248 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248
637 : 1, 7, 13, 49, 91, 637
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 304,221,248,637, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
304:2x 2x 2x 2x 19
221:13x 17
248:2x 2x 2x 31
637:7x 7x 13
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 13 = 104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.
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 = 10613459584/(1x104)
LCM = 10613459584/104
LCM = 102052496
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 304,221,248,637 is 102052496.
