Given numbers are 327,540,978,860
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 327,540,978,860 is 412549740.
Find LCM of 327,540,978,860 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 327, 540, 978, 860 |
| 2 | 327, 270, 489, 430 |
| 3 | 327, 135, 489, 215 |
| 5 | 109, 45, 163, 215 |
| 109, 9, 163, 43 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 109 x 9 x 163 x 43 = 412549740
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 327,540,978,860 is 412549740.
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.
327 x 540 x 978 x 860 = 148517906400
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.
327 : 1, 3, 109, 327
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 327,540,978,860, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
327:3x 109
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
978:2x 3x 163
860:2x 2x 5x 43
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 3x 3x 5 = 360
Therefore, the value for common factors is 360.
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 = 148517906400/(1x360)
LCM = 148517906400/360
LCM = 412549740
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 327,540,978,860 is 412549740.
