Given numbers are 340,972,688,473
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 340,972,688,473 is 156317040.
Find LCM of 340,972,688,473 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 340, 972, 688, 473 |
| 2 | 170, 486, 344, 473 |
| 43 | 85, 243, 172, 473 |
| 85, 243, 4, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 43 x 85 x 243 x 4 x 11 = 156317040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 340,972,688,473 is 156317040.
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.
340 x 972 x 688 x 473 = 107546123520
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.
340 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688
473 : 1, 11, 43, 473
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 340,972,688,473, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
340:2x 2x 5x 17
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43
473:11x 43
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 2x 2x 43 = 688
Therefore, the value for common factors is 688.
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 = 107546123520/(1x688)
LCM = 107546123520/688
LCM = 156317040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 340,972,688,473 is 156317040.
