The LCM of 488,839,978,732 is 200212248.
Find LCM of 488,839,978,732 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 488, 839, 978, 732 |
| 2 | 244, 839, 489, 366 |
| 3 | 122, 839, 489, 183 |
| 61 | 122, 839, 163, 61 |
| 2, 839, 163, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 61 x 2 x 839 x 163 x 1 = 200212248
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 488,839,978,732 is 200212248.
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.
488 x 839 x 978 x 732 = 293110731072
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.
488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488
839 : 1, 839
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
732 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 61, 122, 183, 244, 366, 732
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 488,839,978,732, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
488:2x 2x 2x 61
839:839
978:2x 3x 163
732:2x 2x 3x 61
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 3x 61 = 1464
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1464.
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 = 293110731072/(1x1464)
LCM = 293110731072/1464
LCM = 200212248
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 488,839,978,732 is 200212248.
