The LCM of 344,836,187,688 is 2444464.
Find LCM of 344,836,187,688 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 344, 836, 187, 688 |
| 2 | 172, 418, 187, 344 |
| 2 | 86, 209, 187, 172 |
| 11 | 43, 209, 187, 86 |
| 43 | 43, 19, 17, 86 |
| 1, 19, 17, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 43 x 1 x 19 x 17 x 2 = 2444464
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 344,836,187,688 is 2444464.
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 836 x 187 x 688 = 36999407104
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
836 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 418, 836
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 344,836,187,688, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
344:2x 2x 2x 43
836:2x 2x 11x 19
187:11x 17
688:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 2x 11x 43 = 15136
Therefore, the value for common factors is 15136.
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 = 36999407104/(1x15136)
LCM = 36999407104/15136
LCM = 2444464
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 344,836,187,688 is 2444464.
