Given numbers are 661,978,546,524
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 661,978,546,524 is 15412851636.
Find LCM of 661,978,546,524 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 661, 978, 546, 524 |
| 3 | 661, 489, 273, 262 |
| 661, 163, 91, 262 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 661 x 163 x 91 x 262 = 15412851636
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 661,978,546,524 is 15412851636.
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.
661 x 978 x 546 x 524 = 184954219632
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.
661 : 1, 661
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
546 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 21, 26, 39, 42, 78, 91, 182, 273, 546
524 : 1, 2, 4, 131, 262, 524
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 661,978,546,524, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
661:661
978:2x 3x 163
546:2x 3x 7x 13
524:2x 2x 131
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 184954219632/(1x12)
LCM = 184954219632/12
LCM = 15412851636
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 661,978,546,524 is 15412851636.
