The LCM of 489,184,552,978 is 89976.
Find LCM of 489,184,552,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 489, 184, 552, 978 |
| 2 | 489, 92, 276, 489 |
| 2 | 489, 46, 138, 489 |
| 3 | 489, 23, 69, 489 |
| 23 | 163, 23, 23, 163 |
| 163 | 163, 1, 1, 163 |
| 1, 1, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 163 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 89976
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 489,184,552,978 is 89976.
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.
489 x 184 x 552 x 978 = 48574083456
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.
489 : 1, 3, 163, 489
184 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 23, 46, 92, 184
552 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 489,184,552,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
489:3x 163
184:2x 2x 2x 23
552:2x 2x 2x 3x 23
978:2x 3x 163
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 3x 3x 23x 163 = 539856
Therefore, the value for common factors is 539856.
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 = 48574083456/(1x539856)
LCM = 48574083456/539856
LCM = 89976
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 489,184,552,978 is 89976.
