Given numbers are 338,689,163,272

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 338,689,163,272 is 397117552.

Find LCM of 338,689,163,272 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 13 x 13 x 53 x 163 x 136 = 397117552

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 338,689,163,272 is 397117552.

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 689 x 163 x 272 = 10325056352

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

689 : 1, 13, 53, 689

163 : 1, 163

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 338,689,163,272, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

338:2x 13x 13

689:13x 53

163:163

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 13 = 26

Therefore, the value for common factors is 26.

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 = 10325056352/(1x26)

LCM = 10325056352/26

LCM = 397117552

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 338,689,163,272 is 397117552.
