Given numbers are 856,716,179,978,908
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 856,716,179,978,908 is 17008323672.
Find LCM of 856,716,179,978,908 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 856, 716, 179, 978, 908 |
| 2 | 428, 358, 179, 489, 454 |
| 179 | 214, 179, 179, 489, 227 |
| 214, 1, 1, 489, 227 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 179 x 214 x 1 x 1 x 489 x 227 = 17008323672
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 856,716,179,978,908 is 17008323672.
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.
856 x 716 x 179 x 978 x 908 = 97423677993216
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.
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
716 : 1, 2, 4, 179, 358, 716
179 : 1, 179
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
908 : 1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 856,716,179,978,908, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
856:2x 2x 2x 107
716:2x 2x 179
179:179
978:2x 3x 163
908:2x 2x 227
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 2x 2x 2x 179 = 5728
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5728.
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 = 97423677993216/(1x5728)
LCM = 97423677993216/5728
LCM = 17008323672
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 856,716,179,978,908 is 17008323672.
