Given numbers are 150,336,731,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 150,336,731,978 is 1000885200.
Find LCM of 150,336,731,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 150, 336, 731, 978 |
| 3 | 75, 168, 731, 489 |
| 25, 56, 731, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 25 x 56 x 731 x 163 = 1000885200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 150,336,731,978 is 1000885200.
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.
150 x 336 x 731 x 978 = 36031867200
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.
150 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 150
336 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 56, 84, 112, 168, 336
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
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 150,336,731,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
150:2x 3x 5x 5
336:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
731:17x 43
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 3x 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 36031867200/(1x36)
LCM = 36031867200/36
LCM = 1000885200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 150,336,731,978 is 1000885200.
