Given numbers are 745,968,745,172,948
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 745,968,745,172,948 is 7349341560.
Find LCM of 745,968,745,172,948 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 745, 968, 745, 172, 948 |
| 2 | 745, 484, 745, 86, 474 |
| 5 | 745, 242, 745, 43, 237 |
| 149 | 149, 242, 149, 43, 237 |
| 1, 242, 1, 43, 237 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 149 x 1 x 242 x 1 x 43 x 237 = 7349341560
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 745,968,745,172,948 is 7349341560.
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.
745 x 968 x 745 x 172 x 948 = 87604151395200
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.
745 : 1, 5, 149, 745
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
745 : 1, 5, 149, 745
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 745,968,745,172,948, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
745:5x 149
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
745:5x 149
172:2x 2x 43
948:2x 2x 3x 79
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 5x 149 = 11920
Therefore, the value for common factors is 11920.
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 = 87604151395200/(1x11920)
LCM = 87604151395200/11920
LCM = 7349341560
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 745,968,745,172,948 is 7349341560.
