Given numbers are 432,298,656,340
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 432,298,656,340 is 224322480.
Find LCM of 432,298,656,340 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 432, 298, 656, 340 |
| 2 | 216, 149, 328, 170 |
| 2 | 108, 149, 164, 85 |
| 2 | 54, 149, 82, 85 |
| 27, 149, 41, 85 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 27 x 149 x 41 x 85 = 224322480
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 432,298,656,340 is 224322480.
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.
432 x 298 x 656 x 340 = 28713277440
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.
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
298 : 1, 2, 149, 298
656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656
340 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 432,298,656,340, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
298:2x 149
656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41
340:2x 2x 5x 17
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 2 = 64
Therefore, the value for common factors is 64.
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 = 28713277440/(2x64)
LCM = 28713277440/128
LCM = 224322480
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 432,298,656,340 is 224322480.
