Given numbers are 642,978,678,982
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 642,978,678,982 is 5806074018.
Find LCM of 642,978,678,982 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 642, 978, 678, 982 |
| 3 | 321, 489, 339, 491 |
| 107, 163, 113, 491 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 107 x 163 x 113 x 491 = 5806074018
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 642,978,678,982 is 5806074018.
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.
642 x 978 x 678 x 982 = 418037329296
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.
642 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678
982 : 1, 2, 491, 982
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 642,978,678,982, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
642:2x 3x 107
978:2x 3x 163
678:2x 3x 113
982:2x 491
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 3x 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 418037329296/(2x36)
LCM = 418037329296/72
LCM = 5806074018
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 642,978,678,982 is 5806074018.
