Given numbers are 346,968,988,749,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 346,968,988,749,978 is 15149876429688.
Find LCM of 346,968,988,749,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 346, 968, 988, 749, 978 |
| 2 | 173, 484, 494, 749, 489 |
| 173, 242, 247, 749, 489 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 173 x 242 x 247 x 749 x 489 = 15149876429688
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 346,968,988,749,978 is 15149876429688.
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.
346 x 968 x 988 x 749 x 978 = 242398022875008
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.
346 : 1, 2, 173, 346
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
749 : 1, 7, 107, 749
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 346,968,988,749,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
346:2x 173
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
988:2x 2x 13x 19
749:7x 107
978:2x 3x 163
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 = 242398022875008/(1x16)
LCM = 242398022875008/16
LCM = 15149876429688
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 346,968,988,749,978 is 15149876429688.
