Given numbers are 179,168,455,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 179,168,455,986 is 963657240.
Find LCM of 179,168,455,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 179, 168, 455, 986 |
| 7 | 179, 84, 455, 493 |
| 179, 12, 65, 493 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 179 x 12 x 65 x 493 = 963657240
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 179,168,455,986 is 963657240.
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.
179 x 168 x 455 x 986 = 13491201360
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.
179 : 1, 179
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
455 : 1, 5, 7, 13, 35, 65, 91, 455
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 179,168,455,986, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
179:179
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
455:5x 7x 13
986:2x 17x 29
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7 = 14
Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.
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 = 13491201360/(1x14)
LCM = 13491201360/14
LCM = 963657240
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 179,168,455,986 is 963657240.
