Given numbers are 636,48,392
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 636,48,392 is 124656.
Find LCM of 636,48,392 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 636, 48, 392 |
| 2 | 318, 24, 196 |
| 2 | 159, 12, 98 |
| 3 | 159, 6, 49 |
| 53, 2, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 53 x 2 x 49 = 124656
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 636,48,392 is 124656.
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.
636 x 48 x 392 = 11966976
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.
636 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 53, 106, 159, 212, 318, 636
48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
392 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 49, 56, 98, 196, 392
4 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 636,48,392, is 4.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
636:2x 2x 3x 53
48:2x 2x 2x 2x 3
392:2x 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 3 = 24
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.
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 = 11966976/(4x24)
LCM = 11966976/96
LCM = 124656
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 636,48,392 is 124656.
