Given numbers are 884,260,901,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 884,260,901,978 is 114553140.
Find LCM of 884,260,901,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 884, 260, 901, 978 |
| 2 | 442, 130, 901, 489 |
| 13 | 221, 65, 901, 489 |
| 17 | 17, 5, 901, 489 |
| 1, 5, 53, 489 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 17 x 1 x 5 x 53 x 489 = 114553140
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 884,260,901,978 is 114553140.
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.
884 x 260 x 901 x 978 = 202529951520
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.
884 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 17, 26, 34, 52, 68, 221, 442, 884
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
901 : 1, 17, 53, 901
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 884,260,901,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
884:2x 2x 13x 17
260:2x 2x 5x 13
901:17x 53
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 2x 13x 17 = 1768
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1768.
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 = 202529951520/(1x1768)
LCM = 202529951520/1768
LCM = 114553140
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 884,260,901,978 is 114553140.
