Given numbers are 308,842,868,180
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 308,842,868,180 is 180886860.
Find LCM of 308,842,868,180 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 308, 842, 868, 180 |
| 2 | 154, 421, 434, 90 |
| 7 | 77, 421, 217, 45 |
| 11, 421, 31, 45 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 11 x 421 x 31 x 45 = 180886860
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 308,842,868,180 is 180886860.
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.
308 x 842 x 868 x 180 = 40518656640
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.
308 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 77, 154, 308
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
868 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 31, 62, 124, 217, 434, 868
180 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 30, 36, 45, 60, 90, 180
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 308,842,868,180, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
308:2x 2x 7x 11
842:2x 421
868:2x 2x 7x 31
180:2x 2x 3x 3x 5
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 7 = 112
Therefore, the value for common factors is 112.
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 = 40518656640/(2x112)
LCM = 40518656640/224
LCM = 180886860
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 308,842,868,180 is 180886860.
