Given numbers are 309,980,400,438
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 309,980,400,438 is 442117200.
Find LCM of 309,980,400,438 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 309, 980, 400, 438 |
| 2 | 309, 490, 200, 219 |
| 3 | 309, 245, 100, 219 |
| 5 | 103, 245, 100, 73 |
| 103, 49, 20, 73 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 103 x 49 x 20 x 73 = 442117200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 309,980,400,438 is 442117200.
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.
309 x 980 x 400 x 438 = 53054064000
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.
309 : 1, 3, 103, 309
980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980
400 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400
438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 309,980,400,438, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
309:3x 103
980:2x 2x 5x 7x 7
400:2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 5
438:2x 3x 73
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 3x 5 = 120
Therefore, the value for common factors is 120.
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 = 53054064000/(1x120)
LCM = 53054064000/120
LCM = 442117200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 309,980,400,438 is 442117200.
