Given numbers are 864,63,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 864,63,988 is 1493856.
Find LCM of 864,63,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 864, 63, 988 |
| 2 | 432, 63, 494 |
| 3 | 216, 63, 247 |
| 3 | 72, 21, 247 |
| 24, 7, 247 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 24 x 7 x 247 = 1493856
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 864,63,988 is 1493856.
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.
864 x 63 x 988 = 53778816
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.
864 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 32, 36, 48, 54, 72, 96, 108, 144, 216, 288, 432, 864
63 : 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63
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 864,63,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
864:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
63:3x 3x 7
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.
2x 2x 3x 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 53778816/(1x36)
LCM = 53778816/36
LCM = 1493856
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 864,63,988 is 1493856.
