Given numbers are 394,172,172,197
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 394,172,172,197 is 33884.
Find LCM of 394,172,172,197 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 394, 172, 172, 197 |
| 2 | 197, 86, 86, 197 |
| 43 | 197, 43, 43, 197 |
| 197 | 197, 1, 1, 197 |
| 1, 1, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 43 x 197 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 33884
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 394,172,172,197 is 33884.
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.
394 x 172 x 172 x 197 = 2296250912
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.
394 : 1, 2, 197, 394
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
197 : 1, 197
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 394,172,172,197, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
394:2x 197
172:2x 2x 43
172:2x 2x 43
197:197
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 43x 197 = 67768
Therefore, the value for common factors is 67768.
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 = 2296250912/(1x67768)
LCM = 2296250912/67768
LCM = 33884
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 394,172,172,197 is 33884.
