Given numbers are 878,652,718,978

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

The LCM of 878,652,718,978 is 308267556.

Find LCM of 878,652,718,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 163 x 439 x 2 x 359 x 3 = 308267556

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 878,652,718,978 is 308267556.

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.

878 x 652 x 718 x 978 = 401980893024

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.

878 : 1, 2, 439, 878

652 : 1, 2, 4, 163, 326, 652

718 : 1, 2, 359, 718

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

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 878,652,718,978, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

878:2x 439

652:2x 2x 163

718:2x 359

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 163 = 652

Therefore, the value for common factors is 652.

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 = 401980893024/(2x652)

LCM = 401980893024/1304

LCM = 308267556

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 878,652,718,978 is 308267556.
