Given numbers are 3,974,184,968
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 3,974,184,968 is 32527704.
Find LCM of 3,974,184,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 3, 974, 184, 968 |
| 2 | 3, 487, 92, 484 |
| 2 | 3, 487, 46, 242 |
| 3, 487, 23, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 487 x 23 x 121 = 32527704
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 3,974,184,968 is 32527704.
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.
3 x 974 x 184 x 968 = 520443264
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.
3 : 1, 3
974 : 1, 2, 487, 974
184 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 3,974,184,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
3:3
974:2x 487
184:2x 2x 2x 23
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 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 2x 2x 2 = 16
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.
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 = 520443264/(1x16)
LCM = 520443264/16
LCM = 32527704
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 3,974,184,968 is 32527704.
