Given numbers are 120,115,968,485
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 120,115,968,485 is 32394120.
Find LCM of 120,115,968,485 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 120, 115, 968, 485 |
| 2 | 60, 115, 484, 485 |
| 2 | 30, 115, 242, 485 |
| 5 | 15, 115, 121, 485 |
| 3, 23, 121, 97 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 23 x 121 x 97 = 32394120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 120,115,968,485 is 32394120.
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.
120 x 115 x 968 x 485 = 6478824000
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.
120 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
115 : 1, 5, 23, 115
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
485 : 1, 5, 97, 485
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 120,115,968,485, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
115:5x 23
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
485:5x 97
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 5x 5 = 200
Therefore, the value for common factors is 200.
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 = 6478824000/(1x200)
LCM = 6478824000/200
LCM = 32394120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 120,115,968,485 is 32394120.
