Given numbers are 331,946,278,993
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 331,946,278,993 is 130573542.
Find LCM of 331,946,278,993 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 331, 946, 278, 993 |
| 331 | 331, 473, 139, 993 |
| 1, 473, 139, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 331 x 1 x 473 x 139 x 3 = 130573542
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 331,946,278,993 is 130573542.
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 946 x 278 x 993 = 86439684804
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
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
993 : 1, 3, 331, 993
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 331,946,278,993, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
331:331
946:2x 11x 43
278:2x 139
993:3x 331
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 331 = 662
Therefore, the value for common factors is 662.
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 = 86439684804/(1x662)
LCM = 86439684804/662
LCM = 130573542
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 331,946,278,993 is 130573542.
