Given numbers are 279,879,978,291
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 279,879,978,291 is 2585003634.
Find LCM of 279,879,978,291 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 279, 879, 978, 291 |
| 93, 293, 326, 97 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 93 x 293 x 326 x 97 = 2585003634
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 279,879,978,291 is 2585003634.
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.
279 x 879 x 978 x 291 = 69795098118
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.
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
879 : 1, 3, 293, 879
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
291 : 1, 3, 97, 291
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 279,879,978,291, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
279:3x 3x 31
879:3x 293
978:2x 3x 163
291:3x 97
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3 = 9
Therefore, the value for common factors is 9.
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 = 69795098118/(3x9)
LCM = 69795098118/27
LCM = 2585003634
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 279,879,978,291 is 2585003634.
