Given numbers are 391,656,238,391
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 391,656,238,391 is 1795472.
Find LCM of 391,656,238,391 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 391, 656, 238, 391 |
| 17 | 391, 328, 119, 391 |
| 23 | 23, 328, 7, 23 |
| 1, 328, 7, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 23 x 1 x 328 x 7 x 1 = 1795472
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 391,656,238,391 is 1795472.
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.
391 x 656 x 238 x 391 = 23869004768
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.
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656
238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 391,656,238,391, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
391:17x 23
656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41
238:2x 7x 17
391:17x 23
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 17x 17x 23 = 13294
Therefore, the value for common factors is 13294.
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 = 23869004768/(1x13294)
LCM = 23869004768/13294
LCM = 1795472
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 391,656,238,391 is 1795472.
