Given numbers are 346,280,257,950
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 346,280,257,950 is 1182662600.
Find LCM of 346,280,257,950 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 346, 280, 257, 950 |
| 5 | 173, 140, 257, 475 |
| 173, 28, 257, 95 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 173 x 28 x 257 x 95 = 1182662600
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 346,280,257,950 is 1182662600.
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.
346 x 280 x 257 x 950 = 23653252000
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.
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
257 : 1, 257
950 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 346,280,257,950, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
346:2x 173
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
257:257
950:2x 5x 5x 19
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 5 = 20
Therefore, the value for common factors is 20.
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 = 23653252000/(1x20)
LCM = 23653252000/20
LCM = 1182662600
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 346,280,257,950 is 1182662600.
