Given numbers are 785,174,746,638,972
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 785,174,746,638,972 is 90789460740.
Find LCM of 785,174,746,638,972 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 785, 174, 746, 638, 972 |
| 3 | 785, 87, 373, 319, 486 |
| 29 | 785, 29, 373, 319, 162 |
| 785, 1, 373, 11, 162 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 29 x 785 x 1 x 373 x 11 x 162 = 90789460740
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 785,174,746,638,972 is 90789460740.
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.
785 x 174 x 746 x 638 x 972 = 63189464675040
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.
785 : 1, 5, 157, 785
174 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
746 : 1, 2, 373, 746
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 785,174,746,638,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
785:5x 157
174:2x 3x 29
746:2x 373
638:2x 11x 29
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 2x 3x 29 = 696
Therefore, the value for common factors is 696.
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 = 63189464675040/(1x696)
LCM = 63189464675040/696
LCM = 90789460740
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 785,174,746,638,972 is 90789460740.
