Given numbers are 368,872,512,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 368,872,512,988 is 317045248.
Find LCM of 368,872,512,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 368, 872, 512, 988 |
| 2 | 184, 436, 256, 494 |
| 2 | 92, 218, 128, 247 |
| 2 | 46, 109, 64, 247 |
| 23, 109, 32, 247 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 23 x 109 x 32 x 247 = 317045248
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 368,872,512,988 is 317045248.
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.
368 x 872 x 512 x 988 = 162327166976
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.
368 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
512 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 368,872,512,988, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
368:2x 2x 2x 2x 23
872:2x 2x 2x 109
512:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2
988:2x 2x 13x 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 2x 2x 2x 2x 2 = 128
Therefore, the value for common factors is 128.
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 = 162327166976/(4x128)
LCM = 162327166976/512
LCM = 317045248
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 368,872,512,988 is 317045248.
