Given numbers are 853,986,978,382

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 853,986,978,382 is 78553976142.

Find LCM of 853,986,978,382 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 853 x 493 x 489 x 191 = 78553976142

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 853,986,978,382 is 78553976142.

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 986 x 978 x 382 = 314215904568

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

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

382 : 1, 2, 191, 382

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 853,986,978,382, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

853:853

986:2x 17x 29

978:2x 3x 163

382:2x 191

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 314215904568/(1x4)

LCM = 314215904568/4

LCM = 78553976142

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 853,986,978,382 is 78553976142.
