Given numbers are 935,309,972,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 935,309,972,978 is 15258178980.
Find LCM of 935,309,972,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 935, 309, 972, 978 |
| 3 | 935, 309, 486, 489 |
| 935, 103, 162, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 935 x 103 x 162 x 163 = 15258178980
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 935,309,972,978 is 15258178980.
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.
935 x 309 x 972 x 978 = 274647221640
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.
935 : 1, 5, 11, 17, 55, 85, 187, 935
309 : 1, 3, 103, 309
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
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 935,309,972,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
935:5x 11x 17
309:3x 103
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
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 3x 3 = 18
Therefore, the value for common factors is 18.
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 = 274647221640/(1x18)
LCM = 274647221640/18
LCM = 15258178980
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 935,309,972,978 is 15258178980.
