Given numbers are 417,968,978,186
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 417,968,978,186 is 2039673768.
Find LCM of 417,968,978,186 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 417, 968, 978, 186 |
| 3 | 417, 484, 489, 93 |
| 139, 484, 163, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 139 x 484 x 163 x 31 = 2039673768
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 417,968,978,186 is 2039673768.
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 968 x 978 x 186 = 73428255648
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
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 417,968,978,186, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
417:3x 139
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
978:2x 3x 163
186:2x 3x 31
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 = 73428255648/(1x36)
LCM = 73428255648/36
LCM = 2039673768
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 417,968,978,186 is 2039673768.
