Given numbers are 264,962,851,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 264,962,851,978 is 476063016.
Find LCM of 264,962,851,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 264, 962, 851, 978 |
| 3 | 132, 481, 851, 489 |
| 37 | 44, 481, 851, 163 |
| 44, 13, 23, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 37 x 44 x 13 x 23 x 163 = 476063016
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 264,962,851,978 is 476063016.
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.
264 x 962 x 851 x 978 = 211371979104
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.
264 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
851 : 1, 23, 37, 851
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 264,962,851,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
264:2x 2x 2x 3x 11
962:2x 13x 37
851:23x 37
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 37 = 444
Therefore, the value for common factors is 444.
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 = 211371979104/(1x444)
LCM = 211371979104/444
LCM = 476063016
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 264,962,851,978 is 476063016.
