Given numbers are 556,391,678,977
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 556,391,678,977 is 72002207388.
Find LCM of 556,391,678,977 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 556, 391, 678, 977 |
| 278, 391, 339, 977 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 278 x 391 x 339 x 977 = 72002207388
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 556,391,678,977 is 72002207388.
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.
556 x 391 x 678 x 977 = 144004414776
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.
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678
977 : 1, 977
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 556,391,678,977, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
556:2x 2x 139
391:17x 23
678:2x 3x 113
977:977
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 144004414776/(1x2)
LCM = 144004414776/2
LCM = 72002207388
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 556,391,678,977 is 72002207388.
