Given numbers are 988,429,276,312
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 988,429,276,312 is 1499784.
Find LCM of 988,429,276,312 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 988, 429, 276, 312 |
| 2 | 494, 429, 138, 156 |
| 3 | 247, 429, 69, 78 |
| 13 | 247, 143, 23, 26 |
| 19, 11, 23, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 19 x 11 x 23 x 2 = 1499784
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 988,429,276,312 is 1499784.
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.
988 x 429 x 276 x 312 = 36498743424
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.
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
276 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 23, 46, 69, 92, 138, 276
312 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, 312
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 988,429,276,312, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
988:2x 2x 13x 19
429:3x 11x 13
276:2x 2x 3x 23
312:2x 2x 2x 3x 13
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 3x 3x 13x 13 = 24336
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24336.
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 = 36498743424/(1x24336)
LCM = 36498743424/24336
LCM = 1499784
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 988,429,276,312 is 1499784.
