Given numbers are 189,420,978,509
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 189,420,978,509 is 313615260.
Find LCM of 189,420,978,509 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 189, 420, 978, 509 |
| 3 | 189, 210, 489, 509 |
| 7 | 63, 70, 163, 509 |
| 9, 10, 163, 509 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 9 x 10 x 163 x 509 = 313615260
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 189,420,978,509 is 313615260.
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.
189 x 420 x 978 x 509 = 39515522760
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.
189 : 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 63, 189
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
509 : 1, 509
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 189,420,978,509, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
189:3x 3x 3x 7
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
978:2x 3x 163
509:509
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 7 = 126
Therefore, the value for common factors is 126.
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 = 39515522760/(1x126)
LCM = 39515522760/126
LCM = 313615260
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 189,420,978,509 is 313615260.
