Given numbers are 403,518,872,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 403,518,872,988 is 1729318136.
Find LCM of 403,518,872,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 403, 518, 872, 988 |
| 2 | 403, 259, 436, 494 |
| 13 | 403, 259, 218, 247 |
| 31, 259, 218, 19 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 31 x 259 x 218 x 19 = 1729318136
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 403,518,872,988 is 1729318136.
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.
403 x 518 x 872 x 988 = 179849086144
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.
403 : 1, 13, 31, 403
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 403,518,872,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
403:13x 31
518:2x 7x 37
872:2x 2x 2x 109
988:2x 2x 13x 19
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 13 = 104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.
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 = 179849086144/(1x104)
LCM = 179849086144/104
LCM = 1729318136
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 403,518,872,988 is 1729318136.
