Given numbers are 815,978,215,502,178
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 815,978,215,502,178 is 4697221530.
Find LCM of 815,978,215,502,178 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 815, 978, 215, 502, 178 |
| 5 | 815, 489, 215, 251, 89 |
| 163 | 163, 489, 43, 251, 89 |
| 1, 3, 43, 251, 89 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 163 x 1 x 3 x 43 x 251 x 89 = 4697221530
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 815,978,215,502,178 is 4697221530.
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.
815 x 978 x 215 x 502 x 178 = 15312942187800
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.
815 : 1, 5, 163, 815
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
215 : 1, 5, 43, 215
502 : 1, 2, 251, 502
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 815,978,215,502,178, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
815:5x 163
978:2x 3x 163
215:5x 43
502:2x 251
178:2x 89
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 5x 163 = 3260
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3260.
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 = 15312942187800/(1x3260)
LCM = 15312942187800/3260
LCM = 4697221530
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 815,978,215,502,178 is 4697221530.
