Given numbers are 968,138,700,253
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 968,138,700,253 is 11688600.
Find LCM of 968,138,700,253 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 968, 138, 700, 253 |
| 2 | 484, 69, 350, 253 |
| 11 | 242, 69, 175, 253 |
| 23 | 22, 69, 175, 23 |
| 22, 3, 175, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 11 x 23 x 22 x 3 x 175 x 1 = 11688600
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 968,138,700,253 is 11688600.
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.
968 x 138 x 700 x 253 = 23657726400
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.
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
700 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 25, 28, 35, 50, 70, 100, 140, 175, 350, 700
253 : 1, 11, 23, 253
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 968,138,700,253, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
138:2x 3x 23
700:2x 2x 5x 5x 7
253:11x 23
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 11x 23 = 2024
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2024.
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 = 23657726400/(1x2024)
LCM = 23657726400/2024
LCM = 11688600
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 968,138,700,253 is 11688600.
