Given numbers are 408,978,282,821
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 408,978,282,821 is 2566189848.
Find LCM of 408,978,282,821 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 408, 978, 282, 821 |
| 3 | 204, 489, 141, 821 |
| 68, 163, 47, 821 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 68 x 163 x 47 x 821 = 2566189848
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 408,978,282,821 is 2566189848.
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 978 x 282 x 821 = 92382834528
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
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282
821 : 1, 821
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 408,978,282,821, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
978:2x 3x 163
282:2x 3x 47
821:821
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 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 92382834528/(1x36)
LCM = 92382834528/36
LCM = 2566189848
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 408,978,282,821 is 2566189848.
