Given numbers are 468,221,746,196
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 468,221,746,196 is 145411812.
Find LCM of 468,221,746,196 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 468, 221, 746, 196 |
| 2 | 234, 221, 373, 98 |
| 13 | 117, 221, 373, 49 |
| 9, 17, 373, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 9 x 17 x 373 x 49 = 145411812
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 468,221,746,196 is 145411812.
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.
468 x 221 x 746 x 196 = 15122828448
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.
468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468
221 : 1, 13, 17, 221
746 : 1, 2, 373, 746
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 468,221,746,196, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13
221:13x 17
746:2x 373
196:2x 2x 7x 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 13 = 104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.
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 = 15122828448/(1x104)
LCM = 15122828448/104
LCM = 145411812
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 468,221,746,196 is 145411812.
