Given numbers are 789,946,112,486,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 789,946,112,486,978 is 551859838992.
Find LCM of 789,946,112,486,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 789, 946, 112, 486, 978 |
| 3 | 789, 473, 56, 243, 489 |
| 263, 473, 56, 81, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 263 x 473 x 56 x 81 x 163 = 551859838992
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 789,946,112,486,978 is 551859838992.
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.
789 x 946 x 112 x 486 x 978 = 39733908407424
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.
789 : 1, 3, 263, 789
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
112 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112
486 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486
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 789,946,112,486,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
789:3x 263
946:2x 11x 43
112:2x 2x 2x 2x 7
486:2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 2x 2x 3x 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 39733908407424/(1x72)
LCM = 39733908407424/72
LCM = 551859838992
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 789,946,112,486,978 is 551859838992.
