The LCM of 408,668,429,368 is 448198608.
Find LCM of 408,668,429,368 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 408, 668, 429, 368 |
| 2 | 204, 334, 429, 184 |
| 2 | 102, 167, 429, 92 |
| 3 | 51, 167, 429, 46 |
| 17, 167, 143, 46 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 167 x 143 x 46 = 448198608
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 408,668,429,368 is 448198608.
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 668 x 429 x 368 = 43027066368
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
668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
368 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 23, 46, 92, 184, 368
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 408,668,429,368, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
668:2x 2x 167
429:3x 11x 13
368:2x 2x 2x 2x 23
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 3 = 96
Therefore, the value for common factors is 96.
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 = 43027066368/(1x96)
LCM = 43027066368/96
LCM = 448198608
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 408,668,429,368 is 448198608.
