The LCM of 420,968,978,356,836 is 28015338120.
Find LCM of 420,968,978,356,836 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 420, 968, 978, 356, 836 |
| 2 | 210, 484, 489, 178, 418 |
| 3 | 105, 242, 489, 89, 209 |
| 11 | 35, 242, 163, 89, 209 |
| 35, 22, 163, 89, 19 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 35 x 22 x 163 x 89 x 19 = 28015338120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 420,968,978,356,836 is 28015338120.
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.
420 x 968 x 978 x 356 x 836 = 118336788218880
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.
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
356 : 1, 2, 4, 89, 178, 356
836 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 418, 836
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 420,968,978,356,836, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
978:2x 3x 163
356:2x 2x 89
836:2x 2x 11x 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 2x 2x 2x 3x 11 = 2112
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2112.
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 = 118336788218880/(2x2112)
LCM = 118336788218880/4224
LCM = 28015338120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 420,968,978,356,836 is 28015338120.
