Given numbers are 608,538,456
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 608,538,456 is 490656.
Find LCM of 608,538,456 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 608, 538, 456 |
| 2 | 304, 269, 228 |
| 2 | 152, 269, 114 |
| 19 | 76, 269, 57 |
| 4, 269, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 19 x 4 x 269 x 3 = 490656
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 608,538,456 is 490656.
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.
608 x 538 x 456 = 149159424
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.
608 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 32, 38, 76, 152, 304, 608
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
456 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 456
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 608,538,456, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
608:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 19
538:2x 269
456:2x 2x 2x 3x 19
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 19 = 152
Therefore, the value for common factors is 152.
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 = 149159424/(2x152)
LCM = 149159424/304
LCM = 490656
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 608,538,456 is 490656.
