Given numbers are 338,270,862,640
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 338,270,862,640 is 1258657920.
Find LCM of 338,270,862,640 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 338, 270, 862, 640 |
| 5 | 169, 135, 431, 320 |
| 169, 27, 431, 64 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 169 x 27 x 431 x 64 = 1258657920
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 338,270,862,640 is 1258657920.
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.
338 x 270 x 862 x 640 = 50346316800
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.
338 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 169, 338
270 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 27, 30, 45, 54, 90, 135, 270
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
640 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160, 320, 640
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 338,270,862,640, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
338:2x 13x 13
270:2x 3x 3x 3x 5
862:2x 431
640:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
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 5 = 20
Therefore, the value for common factors is 20.
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 = 50346316800/(2x20)
LCM = 50346316800/40
LCM = 1258657920
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 338,270,862,640 is 1258657920.
