Given numbers are 491,322,261,978,363
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 491,322,261,978,363 is 813862139706.
Find LCM of 491,322,261,978,363 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 491, 322, 261, 978, 363 |
| 3 | 491, 161, 261, 489, 363 |
| 491, 161, 87, 163, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 491 x 161 x 87 x 163 x 121 = 813862139706
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 491,322,261,978,363 is 813862139706.
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.
491 x 322 x 261 x 978 x 363 = 14649518514708
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.
491 : 1, 491
322 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 23, 46, 161, 322
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
363 : 1, 3, 11, 33, 121, 363
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 491,322,261,978,363, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
491:491
322:2x 7x 23
261:3x 3x 29
978:2x 3x 163
363:3x 11x 11
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 3 = 18
Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.
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 = 14649518514708/(1x18)
LCM = 14649518514708/18
LCM = 813862139706
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 491,322,261,978,363 is 813862139706.
