Given numbers are 417,836,872,278
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 417,836,872,278 is 75997416.
Find LCM of 417,836,872,278 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 417, 836, 872, 278 |
| 2 | 417, 418, 436, 139 |
| 139 | 417, 209, 218, 139 |
| 3, 209, 218, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 139 x 3 x 209 x 218 x 1 = 75997416
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 417,836,872,278 is 75997416.
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.
417 x 836 x 872 x 278 = 84509126592
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.
417 : 1, 3, 139, 417
836 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 418, 836
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 417,836,872,278, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
417:3x 139
836:2x 2x 11x 19
872:2x 2x 2x 109
278:2x 139
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 139 = 1112
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1112.
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 = 84509126592/(1x1112)
LCM = 84509126592/1112
LCM = 75997416
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 417,836,872,278 is 75997416.
