Given numbers are 668,460,973,537,179
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 668,460,973,537,179 is 40138526820.
Find LCM of 668,460,973,537,179 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 668, 460, 973, 537, 179 |
| 2 | 334, 230, 973, 537, 179 |
| 179 | 167, 115, 973, 537, 179 |
| 167, 115, 973, 3, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 179 x 167 x 115 x 973 x 3 x 1 = 40138526820
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 668,460,973,537,179 is 40138526820.
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.
668 x 460 x 973 x 537 x 179 = 28739185203120
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.
668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668
460 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 46, 92, 115, 230, 460
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
179 : 1, 179
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 668,460,973,537,179, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
668:2x 2x 167
460:2x 2x 5x 23
973:7x 139
537:3x 179
179:179
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 179 = 716
Therefore, the value for common factors is 716.
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 = 28739185203120/(1x716)
LCM = 28739185203120/716
LCM = 40138526820
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 668,460,973,537,179 is 40138526820.
