Given numbers are 899,262,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 899,262,978 is 115178082.
Find LCM of 899,262,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 899, 262, 978 |
| 899, 131, 489 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 899 x 131 x 489 = 115178082
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 899,262,978 is 115178082.
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.
899 x 262 x 978 = 230356164
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.
899 : 1, 29, 31, 899
262 : 1, 2, 131, 262
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 899,262,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
899:29x 31
262:2x 131
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.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 230356164/(1x2)
LCM = 230356164/2
LCM = 115178082
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 899,262,978 is 115178082.
