Given numbers are 497,986,204,160
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 497,986,204,160 is 117610080.
Find LCM of 497,986,204,160 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 497, 986, 204, 160 |
| 2 | 497, 493, 102, 80 |
| 17 | 497, 493, 51, 40 |
| 497, 29, 3, 40 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 17 x 497 x 29 x 3 x 40 = 117610080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 497,986,204,160 is 117610080.
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.
497 x 986 x 204 x 160 = 15994970880
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.
497 : 1, 7, 71, 497
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
204 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204
160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 497,986,204,160, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
497:7x 71
986:2x 17x 29
204:2x 2x 3x 17
160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
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 17 = 136
Therefore, the value for common factors is 136.
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 = 15994970880/(1x136)
LCM = 15994970880/136
LCM = 117610080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 497,986,204,160 is 117610080.
