Given numbers are 835,501,187,972
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 835,501,187,972 is 151772940.
Find LCM of 835,501,187,972 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 835, 501, 187, 972 |
| 167 | 835, 167, 187, 324 |
| 5, 1, 187, 324 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 167 x 5 x 1 x 187 x 324 = 151772940
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 835,501,187,972 is 151772940.
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.
835 x 501 x 187 x 972 = 76038242940
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.
835 : 1, 5, 167, 835
501 : 1, 3, 167, 501
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
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 835,501,187,972, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
835:5x 167
501:3x 167
187:11x 17
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.
3x 167 = 501
Therefore, the value for common factors is 501.
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 = 76038242940/(1x501)
LCM = 76038242940/501
LCM = 151772940
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 835,501,187,972 is 151772940.
