The LCM of 853,538,369,378,978 is 579648307518.
Find LCM of 853,538,369,378,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 853, 538, 369, 378, 978 |
| 3 | 853, 269, 369, 189, 489 |
| 3 | 853, 269, 123, 63, 163 |
| 853, 269, 41, 21, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 853 x 269 x 41 x 21 x 163 = 579648307518
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 853,538,369,378,978 is 579648307518.
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.
853 x 538 x 369 x 378 x 978 = 62602017211944
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.
853 : 1, 853
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
369 : 1, 3, 9, 41, 123, 369
378 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 14, 18, 21, 27, 42, 54, 63, 126, 189, 378
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 853,538,369,378,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
853:853
538:2x 269
369:3x 3x 41
378:2x 3x 3x 3x 7
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 3x 3x 3 = 108
Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.
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 = 62602017211944/(1x108)
LCM = 62602017211944/108
LCM = 579648307518
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 853,538,369,378,978 is 579648307518.
