Given numbers are 481,401,978,918
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 481,401,978,918 is 28861555554.
Find LCM of 481,401,978,918 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 481, 401, 978, 918 |
| 3 | 481, 401, 489, 459 |
| 481, 401, 163, 153 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 481 x 401 x 163 x 153 = 28861555554
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 481,401,978,918 is 28861555554.
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.
481 x 401 x 978 x 918 = 173169333324
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.
481 : 1, 13, 37, 481
401 : 1, 401
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
918 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 27, 34, 51, 54, 102, 153, 306, 459, 918
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 481,401,978,918, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
481:13x 37
401:401
978:2x 3x 163
918:2x 3x 3x 3x 17
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 173169333324/(1x6)
LCM = 173169333324/6
LCM = 28861555554
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 481,401,978,918 is 28861555554.
