Given numbers are 331,480,872,187
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 331,480,872,187 is 3238451040.
Find LCM of 331,480,872,187 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 331, 480, 872, 187 |
| 2 | 331, 240, 436, 187 |
| 2 | 331, 120, 218, 187 |
| 331, 60, 109, 187 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 331 x 60 x 109 x 187 = 3238451040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 331,480,872,187 is 3238451040.
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.
331 x 480 x 872 x 187 = 25907608320
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.
331 : 1, 331
480 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 80, 96, 120, 160, 240, 480
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 331,480,872,187, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
331:331
480:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
872:2x 2x 2x 109
187:11x 17
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 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 25907608320/(1x8)
LCM = 25907608320/8
LCM = 3238451040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 331,480,872,187 is 3238451040.
