Given numbers are 789,978,897,178,920
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 789,978,897,178,920 is 136894435080.
Find LCM of 789,978,897,178,920 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 789, 978, 897, 178, 920 |
| 3 | 789, 489, 897, 89, 460 |
| 23 | 263, 163, 299, 89, 460 |
| 263, 163, 13, 89, 20 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 23 x 263 x 163 x 13 x 89 x 20 = 136894435080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 789,978,897,178,920 is 136894435080.
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 978 x 897 x 178 x 920 = 113348592246240
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
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
897 : 1, 3, 13, 23, 39, 69, 299, 897
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
920 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 23, 40, 46, 92, 115, 184, 230, 460, 920
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 789,978,897,178,920, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
789:3x 263
978:2x 3x 163
897:3x 13x 23
178:2x 89
920:2x 2x 2x 5x 23
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 3x 23 = 828
Therefore, the value for common factors is 828.
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 = 113348592246240/(1x828)
LCM = 113348592246240/828
LCM = 136894435080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 789,978,897,178,920 is 136894435080.
