Given numbers are 843,538,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 843,538,988 is 224045796.
Find LCM of 843,538,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 843, 538, 988 |
| 843, 269, 494 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 843 x 269 x 494 = 224045796
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 843,538,988 is 224045796.
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.
843 x 538 x 988 = 448091592
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.
843 : 1, 3, 281, 843
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 843,538,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
843:3x 281
538:2x 269
988:2x 2x 13x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 448091592/(1x2)
LCM = 448091592/2
LCM = 224045796
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 843,538,988 is 224045796.
