Given numbers are 523,326,961,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 523,326,961,978 is 491545734.
Find LCM of 523,326,961,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 523, 326, 961, 978 |
| 163 | 523, 163, 961, 489 |
| 523, 1, 961, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 163 x 523 x 1 x 961 x 3 = 491545734
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 523,326,961,978 is 491545734.
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.
523 x 326 x 961 x 978 = 160243909284
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.
523 : 1, 523
326 : 1, 2, 163, 326
961 : 1, 31, 961
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 523,326,961,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
523:523
326:2x 163
961:31x 31
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 163 = 326
Therefore, the value for common factors is 326.
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 = 160243909284/(1x326)
LCM = 160243909284/326
LCM = 491545734
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 523,326,961,978 is 491545734.
