Given numbers are 387,339,978,522,260
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 387,339,978,522,260 is 53746273620.
Find LCM of 387,339,978,522,260 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 387, 339, 978, 522, 260 |
| 3 | 387, 339, 489, 261, 130 |
| 3 | 129, 113, 163, 87, 130 |
| 43, 113, 163, 29, 130 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 43 x 113 x 163 x 29 x 130 = 53746273620
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 387,339,978,522,260 is 53746273620.
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.
387 x 339 x 978 x 522 x 260 = 17413792652880
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.
387 : 1, 3, 9, 43, 129, 387
339 : 1, 3, 113, 339
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
522 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 29, 58, 87, 174, 261, 522
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 387,339,978,522,260, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
387:3x 3x 43
339:3x 113
978:2x 3x 163
522:2x 3x 3x 29
260:2x 2x 5x 13
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 3x 3x 3 = 324
Therefore, the value for common factors is 324.
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 = 17413792652880/(1x324)
LCM = 17413792652880/324
LCM = 53746273620
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 387,339,978,522,260 is 53746273620.
