Given numbers are 731,374,949,305,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 731,374,949,305,978 is 2276223845610.
Find LCM of 731,374,949,305,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 731, 374, 949, 305, 978 |
| 17 | 731, 187, 949, 305, 489 |
| 43, 11, 949, 305, 489 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 43 x 11 x 949 x 305 x 489 = 2276223845610
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 731,374,949,305,978 is 2276223845610.
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.
731 x 374 x 949 x 305 x 978 = 77391610750740
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.
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
374 : 1, 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, 187, 374
949 : 1, 13, 73, 949
305 : 1, 5, 61, 305
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 731,374,949,305,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
731:17x 43
374:2x 11x 17
949:13x 73
305:5x 61
978:2x 3x 163
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 17 = 34
Therefore, the value for common factors is 34.
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 = 77391610750740/(1x34)
LCM = 77391610750740/34
LCM = 2276223845610
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 731,374,949,305,978 is 2276223845610.
