Given numbers are 326,468,240,744
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 326,468,240,744 is 47296080.
Find LCM of 326,468,240,744 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 326, 468, 240, 744 |
| 2 | 163, 234, 120, 372 |
| 2 | 163, 117, 60, 186 |
| 3 | 163, 117, 30, 93 |
| 163, 39, 10, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 163 x 39 x 10 x 31 = 47296080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 326,468,240,744 is 47296080.
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.
326 x 468 x 240 x 744 = 27242542080
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.
326 : 1, 2, 163, 326
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
744 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 248, 372, 744
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 326,468,240,744, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
326:2x 163
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
744:2x 2x 2x 3x 31
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 3 = 288
Therefore, the value for common factors is 288.
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 = 27242542080/(2x288)
LCM = 27242542080/576
LCM = 47296080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 326,468,240,744 is 47296080.
