Given numbers are 408,901,978,177
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 408,901,978,177 is 207958008.
Find LCM of 408,901,978,177 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 408, 901, 978, 177 |
| 3 | 204, 901, 489, 177 |
| 17 | 68, 901, 163, 59 |
| 4, 53, 163, 59 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 17 x 4 x 53 x 163 x 59 = 207958008
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 408,901,978,177 is 207958008.
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.
408 x 901 x 978 x 177 = 63635150448
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.
408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408
901 : 1, 17, 53, 901
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
177 : 1, 3, 59, 177
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 408,901,978,177, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
901:17x 53
978:2x 3x 163
177:3x 59
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 3x 17 = 306
Therefore, the value for common factors is 306.
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 = 63635150448/(1x306)
LCM = 63635150448/306
LCM = 207958008
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 408,901,978,177 is 207958008.
