Given numbers are 347,252,473,968,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 347,252,473,968,978 is 148320589032.
Find LCM of 347,252,473,968,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 347, 252, 473, 968, 978 |
| 2 | 347, 126, 473, 484, 489 |
| 3 | 347, 63, 473, 242, 489 |
| 11 | 347, 21, 473, 242, 163 |
| 347, 21, 43, 22, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 347 x 21 x 43 x 22 x 163 = 148320589032
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 347,252,473,968,978 is 148320589032.
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.
347 x 252 x 473 x 968 x 978 = 39156635504448
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.
347 : 1, 347
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
473 : 1, 11, 43, 473
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
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 347,252,473,968,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
347:347
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
473:11x 43
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
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 3x 11 = 264
Therefore, the value for common factors is 264.
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 = 39156635504448/(1x264)
LCM = 39156635504448/264
LCM = 148320589032
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 347,252,473,968,978 is 148320589032.
