Given numbers are 408,456,240,156
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 408,456,240,156 is 1007760.
Find LCM of 408,456,240,156 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 408, 456, 240, 156 |
| 2 | 204, 228, 120, 78 |
| 2 | 102, 114, 60, 39 |
| 3 | 51, 57, 30, 39 |
| 17, 19, 10, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 19 x 10 x 13 = 1007760
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 408,456,240,156 is 1007760.
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.
408 x 456 x 240 x 156 = 6965637120
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.
408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408
456 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 456
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
12 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 408,456,240,156, is 12.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
456:2x 2x 2x 3x 19
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
156:2x 2x 3x 13
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 2x 2x 3x 3 = 576
Therefore, the value for common factors is 576.
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 = 6965637120/(12x576)
LCM = 6965637120/6912
LCM = 1007760
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 408,456,240,156 is 1007760.
