Given numbers are 393,972,696
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 393,972,696 is 7385256.
Find LCM of 393,972,696 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 393, 972, 696 |
| 2 | 393, 486, 348 |
| 3 | 393, 243, 174 |
| 131, 81, 58 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 131 x 81 x 58 = 7385256
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 393,972,696 is 7385256.
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.
393 x 972 x 696 = 265869216
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.
393 : 1, 3, 131, 393
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
696 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 393,972,696, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
393:3x 131
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
696:2x 2x 2x 3x 29
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 265869216/(3x12)
LCM = 265869216/36
LCM = 7385256
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 393,972,696 is 7385256.
