Given numbers are 316,861,948,953
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 316,861,948,953 is 259288428.
Find LCM of 316,861,948,953 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 316, 861, 948, 953 |
| 2 | 158, 861, 474, 953 |
| 3 | 79, 861, 237, 953 |
| 79 | 79, 287, 79, 953 |
| 1, 287, 1, 953 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 79 x 1 x 287 x 1 x 953 = 259288428
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 316,861,948,953 is 259288428.
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.
316 x 861 x 948 x 953 = 245805429744
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.
316 : 1, 2, 4, 79, 158, 316
861 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
953 : 1, 953
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 316,861,948,953, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
316:2x 2x 79
861:3x 7x 41
948:2x 2x 3x 79
953:953
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 3x 79 = 948
Therefore, the value for common factors is 948.
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 = 245805429744/(1x948)
LCM = 245805429744/948
LCM = 259288428
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 316,861,948,953 is 259288428.
