Given numbers are 239,334,996,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 239,334,996,978 is 6479795724.
Find LCM of 239,334,996,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 239, 334, 996, 978 |
| 3 | 239, 167, 498, 489 |
| 239, 167, 166, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 239 x 167 x 166 x 163 = 6479795724
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 239,334,996,978 is 6479795724.
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.
239 x 334 x 996 x 978 = 77757548688
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.
239 : 1, 239
334 : 1, 2, 167, 334
996 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
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 239,334,996,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
239:239
334:2x 167
996:2x 2x 3x 83
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 77757548688/(1x12)
LCM = 77757548688/12
LCM = 6479795724
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 239,334,996,978 is 6479795724.
