Given numbers are 328,346,168,546
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 328,346,168,546 is 15491112.
Find LCM of 328,346,168,546 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 328, 346, 168, 546 |
| 2 | 164, 173, 84, 273 |
| 2 | 82, 173, 42, 273 |
| 3 | 41, 173, 21, 273 |
| 7 | 41, 173, 7, 91 |
| 41, 173, 1, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 41 x 173 x 1 x 13 = 15491112
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 328,346,168,546 is 15491112.
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.
328 x 346 x 168 x 546 = 10410027264
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.
328 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 41, 82, 164, 328
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
546 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 21, 26, 39, 42, 78, 91, 182, 273, 546
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 328,346,168,546, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
328:2x 2x 2x 41
346:2x 173
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
546:2x 3x 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 2x 3x 7 = 336
Therefore, the value for common factors is 336.
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 = 10410027264/(2x336)
LCM = 10410027264/672
LCM = 15491112
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 328,346,168,546 is 15491112.
