Given numbers are 348,612,608,972
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 348,612,608,972 is 72837792.
Find LCM of 348,612,608,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 348, 612, 608, 972 |
| 2 | 174, 306, 304, 486 |
| 3 | 87, 153, 152, 243 |
| 3 | 29, 51, 152, 81 |
| 29, 17, 152, 27 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 29 x 17 x 152 x 27 = 72837792
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 348,612,608,972 is 72837792.
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.
348 x 612 x 608 x 972 = 125863704576
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.
348 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 348
612 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 34, 36, 51, 68, 102, 153, 204, 306, 612
608 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 76, 152, 304, 608
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 348,612,608,972, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
348:2x 2x 3x 29
612:2x 2x 3x 3x 17
608:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 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 2x 2x 3x 3x 3 = 432
Therefore, the value for common factors is 432.
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 = 125863704576/(4x432)
LCM = 125863704576/1728
LCM = 72837792
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 348,612,608,972 is 72837792.
