Given numbers are 518,234,117,268
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 518,234,117,268 is 8121204.
Find LCM of 518,234,117,268 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 518, 234, 117, 268 |
| 3 | 259, 117, 117, 134 |
| 3 | 259, 39, 39, 134 |
| 13 | 259, 13, 13, 134 |
| 259, 1, 1, 134 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 259 x 1 x 1 x 134 = 8121204
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 518,234,117,268 is 8121204.
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.
518 x 234 x 117 x 268 = 3800723472
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.
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
117 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117
268 : 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 518,234,117,268, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
518:2x 7x 37
234:2x 3x 3x 13
117:3x 3x 13
268:2x 2x 67
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 3x 3x 13 = 468
Therefore, the value for common factors is 468.
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 = 3800723472/(1x468)
LCM = 3800723472/468
LCM = 8121204
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 518,234,117,268 is 8121204.
