Given numbers are 338,962,494,972
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 338,962,494,972 is 115480404.
Find LCM of 338,962,494,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 338, 962, 494, 972 |
| 13 | 169, 481, 247, 486 |
| 13, 37, 19, 486 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 13 x 37 x 19 x 486 = 115480404
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 338,962,494,972 is 115480404.
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 962 x 494 x 972 = 156129506208
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
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
494 : 1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 338,962,494,972, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
338:2x 13x 13
962:2x 13x 37
494:2x 13x 19
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 13x 13 = 676
Therefore, the value for common factors is 676.
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 = 156129506208/(2x676)
LCM = 156129506208/1352
LCM = 115480404
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 338,962,494,972 is 115480404.
