Given numbers are 223,972,446,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 223,972,446,978 is 35331228.
Find LCM of 223,972,446,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 223, 972, 446, 978 |
| 3 | 223, 486, 223, 489 |
| 223 | 223, 162, 223, 163 |
| 1, 162, 1, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 223 x 1 x 162 x 1 x 163 = 35331228
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 223,972,446,978 is 35331228.
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.
223 x 972 x 446 x 978 = 94546366128
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.
223 : 1, 223
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
446 : 1, 2, 223, 446
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 223,972,446,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
223:223
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
446:2x 223
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 223 = 2676
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2676.
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 = 94546366128/(1x2676)
LCM = 94546366128/2676
LCM = 35331228
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 223,972,446,978 is 35331228.
