Given numbers are 678,948,904
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 678,948,904 is 214248.
Find LCM of 678,948,904 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 678, 948, 904 |
| 2 | 339, 474, 452 |
| 3 | 339, 237, 226 |
| 113 | 113, 79, 226 |
| 1, 79, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 113 x 1 x 79 x 2 = 214248
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 678,948,904 is 214248.
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.
678 x 948 x 904 = 581040576
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.
678 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 113, 226, 339, 678
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
904 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 113, 226, 452, 904
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 678,948,904, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
678:2x 3x 113
948:2x 2x 3x 79
904:2x 2x 2x 113
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 113 = 1356
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1356.
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 = 581040576/(2x1356)
LCM = 581040576/2712
LCM = 214248
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 678,948,904 is 214248.
