Given numbers are 498,972,294
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 498,972,294 is 3953124.
Find LCM of 498,972,294 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 498, 972, 294 |
| 3 | 249, 486, 147 |
| 83, 162, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 83 x 162 x 49 = 3953124
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 498,972,294 is 3953124.
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.
498 x 972 x 294 = 142312464
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.
498 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 83, 166, 249, 498
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
6 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 498,972,294, is 6.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
498:2x 3x 83
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
294:2x 3x 7x 7
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 142312464/(6x6)
LCM = 142312464/36
LCM = 3953124
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 498,972,294 is 3953124.
