Given numbers are 276,978,588,372
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 276,978,588,372 is 68336772.
Find LCM of 276,978,588,372 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 276, 978, 588, 372 |
| 2 | 138, 489, 294, 186 |
| 3 | 69, 489, 147, 93 |
| 23, 163, 49, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 163 x 49 x 31 = 68336772
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 276,978,588,372 is 68336772.
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.
276 x 978 x 588 x 372 = 59042971008
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.
276 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 23, 46, 69, 92, 138, 276
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
6 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 276,978,588,372, is 6.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
276:2x 2x 3x 23
978:2x 3x 163
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7
372:2x 2x 3x 31
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 2x 2x 3x 3 = 144
Therefore, the value for common factors is 144.
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 = 59042971008/(6x144)
LCM = 59042971008/864
LCM = 68336772
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 276,978,588,372 is 68336772.
