Given numbers are 486,138,589,961
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 486,138,589,961 is 204099102.
Find LCM of 486,138,589,961 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 486, 138, 589, 961 |
| 3 | 243, 69, 589, 961 |
| 31 | 81, 23, 589, 961 |
| 81, 23, 19, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 31 x 81 x 23 x 19 x 31 = 204099102
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 486,138,589,961 is 204099102.
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.
486 x 138 x 589 x 961 = 37962432972
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.
486 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
589 : 1, 19, 31, 589
961 : 1, 31, 961
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 486,138,589,961, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
138:2x 3x 23
589:19x 31
961:31x 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 3x 31 = 186
Therefore, the value for common factors is 186.
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 = 37962432972/(1x186)
LCM = 37962432972/186
LCM = 204099102
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 486,138,589,961 is 204099102.
