Given numbers are 344,147,946,157
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 344,147,946,157 is 87330936.
Find LCM of 344,147,946,157 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 344, 147, 946, 157 |
| 43 | 172, 147, 473, 157 |
| 4, 147, 11, 157 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 43 x 4 x 147 x 11 x 157 = 87330936
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 344,147,946,157 is 87330936.
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.
344 x 147 x 946 x 157 = 7510460496
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.
344 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, 344
147 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
157 : 1, 157
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 344,147,946,157, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
344:2x 2x 2x 43
147:3x 7x 7
946:2x 11x 43
157:157
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 43 = 86
Therefore, the value for common factors is 86.
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 = 7510460496/(1x86)
LCM = 7510460496/86
LCM = 87330936
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 344,147,946,157 is 87330936.
