Given numbers are 402,731,187,304
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 402,731,187,304 is 491337264.
Find LCM of 402,731,187,304 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 402, 731, 187, 304 |
| 17 | 201, 731, 187, 152 |
| 201, 43, 11, 152 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 201 x 43 x 11 x 152 = 491337264
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 402,731,187,304 is 491337264.
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.
402 x 731 x 187 x 304 = 16705466976
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.
402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
304 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 402,731,187,304, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
402:2x 3x 67
731:17x 43
187:11x 17
304:2x 2x 2x 2x 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 17 = 34
Therefore, the value for common factors is 34.
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 = 16705466976/(1x34)
LCM = 16705466976/34
LCM = 491337264
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 402,731,187,304 is 491337264.
