Given numbers are 296,978,371,891
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 296,978,371,891 is 15948907128.
Find LCM of 296,978,371,891 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 296, 978, 371, 891 |
| 3 | 148, 489, 371, 891 |
| 148, 163, 371, 297 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 148 x 163 x 371 x 297 = 15948907128
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 296,978,371,891 is 15948907128.
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.
296 x 978 x 371 x 891 = 95693442768
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.
296 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 37, 74, 148, 296
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
371 : 1, 7, 53, 371
891 : 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, 891
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 296,978,371,891, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
296:2x 2x 2x 37
978:2x 3x 163
371:7x 53
891:3x 3x 3x 3x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 95693442768/(1x6)
LCM = 95693442768/6
LCM = 15948907128
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 296,978,371,891 is 15948907128.
