Given numbers are 398,406,968,336
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 398,406,968,336 is 234625776.
Find LCM of 398,406,968,336 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 398, 406, 968, 336 |
| 2 | 199, 203, 484, 168 |
| 2 | 199, 203, 242, 84 |
| 7 | 199, 203, 121, 42 |
| 199, 29, 121, 6 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 199 x 29 x 121 x 6 = 234625776
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 398,406,968,336 is 234625776.
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.
398 x 406 x 968 x 336 = 52556173824
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.
398 : 1, 2, 199, 398
406 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 29, 58, 203, 406
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
336 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 56, 84, 112, 168, 336
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 398,406,968,336, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
398:2x 199
406:2x 7x 29
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
336:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
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 7 = 112
Therefore, the value for common factors is 112.
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 = 52556173824/(2x112)
LCM = 52556173824/224
LCM = 234625776
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 398,406,968,336 is 234625776.
