Given numbers are 361,978,388,291
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 361,978,388,291 is 68493252.
Find LCM of 361,978,388,291 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 361, 978, 388, 291 |
| 3 | 361, 489, 194, 291 |
| 97 | 361, 163, 194, 97 |
| 361, 163, 2, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 97 x 361 x 163 x 2 x 1 = 68493252
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 361,978,388,291 is 68493252.
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.
361 x 978 x 388 x 291 = 39863072664
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.
361 : 1, 19, 361
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388
291 : 1, 3, 97, 291
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 361,978,388,291, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
361:19x 19
978:2x 3x 163
388:2x 2x 97
291:3x 97
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 97 = 582
Therefore, the value for common factors is 582.
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 = 39863072664/(1x582)
LCM = 39863072664/582
LCM = 68493252
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 361,978,388,291 is 68493252.
