Given numbers are 120,863,772,772,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 120,863,772,772,978 is 3257894040.
Find LCM of 120,863,772,772,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 120, 863, 772, 772, 978 |
| 2 | 60, 863, 386, 386, 489 |
| 3 | 30, 863, 193, 193, 489 |
| 193 | 10, 863, 193, 193, 163 |
| 10, 863, 1, 1, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 193 x 10 x 863 x 1 x 1 x 163 = 3257894040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 120,863,772,772,978 is 3257894040.
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 863 x 772 x 772 x 978 = 60362260773120
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
863 : 1, 863
772 : 1, 2, 4, 193, 386, 772
772 : 1, 2, 4, 193, 386, 772
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 120,863,772,772,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
120:2x 2x 2x 3x 5
863:863
772:2x 2x 193
772:2x 2x 193
978:2x 3x 163
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 2x 3x 193 = 18528
Therefore, the value for common factors is 18528.
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 = 60362260773120/(1x18528)
LCM = 60362260773120/18528
LCM = 3257894040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 120,863,772,772,978 is 3257894040.
