Given numbers are 311,978,281,843
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 311,978,281,843 is 85468398.
Find LCM of 311,978,281,843 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 311, 978, 281, 843 |
| 281 | 311, 326, 281, 281 |
| 311, 326, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 281 x 311 x 326 x 1 x 1 = 85468398
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 311,978,281,843 is 85468398.
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.
311 x 978 x 281 x 843 = 72049859514
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.
311 : 1, 311
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
281 : 1, 281
843 : 1, 3, 281, 843
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 311,978,281,843, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
311:311
978:2x 3x 163
281:281
843:3x 281
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 281 = 843
Therefore, the value for common factors is 843.
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 = 72049859514/(1x843)
LCM = 72049859514/843
LCM = 85468398
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 311,978,281,843 is 85468398.
