Given numbers are 117,978,741,442
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 117,978,741,442 is 12319866.
Find LCM of 117,978,741,442 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 117, 978, 741, 442 |
| 3 | 117, 489, 741, 221 |
| 13 | 39, 163, 247, 221 |
| 3, 163, 19, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 13 x 3 x 163 x 19 x 17 = 12319866
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 117,978,741,442 is 12319866.
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.
117 x 978 x 741 x 442 = 37477032372
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.
117 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
741 : 1, 3, 13, 19, 39, 57, 247, 741
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 117,978,741,442, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
117:3x 3x 13
978:2x 3x 163
741:3x 13x 19
442:2x 13x 17
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 13x 13 = 3042
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3042.
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 = 37477032372/(1x3042)
LCM = 37477032372/3042
LCM = 12319866
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 117,978,741,442 is 12319866.
