Given numbers are 879,666,970,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 879,666,970,978 is 15426634590.
Find LCM of 879,666,970,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 879, 666, 970, 978 |
| 3 | 879, 333, 485, 489 |
| 293, 111, 485, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 293 x 111 x 485 x 163 = 15426634590
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 879,666,970,978 is 15426634590.
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.
879 x 666 x 970 x 978 = 555358845240
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.
879 : 1, 3, 293, 879
666 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 37, 74, 111, 222, 333, 666
970 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970
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 879,666,970,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
879:3x 293
666:2x 3x 3x 37
970:2x 5x 97
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 3 = 36
Therefore, the value for common factors is 36.
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 = 555358845240/(1x36)
LCM = 555358845240/36
LCM = 15426634590
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 879,666,970,978 is 15426634590.
