Given numbers are 876,985,737,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 876,985,737,978 is 103656234660.
Find LCM of 876,985,737,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 876, 985, 737, 978 |
| 3 | 438, 985, 737, 489 |
| 146, 985, 737, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 146 x 985 x 737 x 163 = 103656234660
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 876,985,737,978 is 103656234660.
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.
876 x 985 x 737 x 978 = 621937407960
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.
876 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 73, 146, 219, 292, 438, 876
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
737 : 1, 11, 67, 737
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 876,985,737,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
876:2x 2x 3x 73
985:5x 197
737:11x 67
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 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 621937407960/(1x6)
LCM = 621937407960/6
LCM = 103656234660
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 876,985,737,978 is 103656234660.
