The LCM of 936,265,234,978 is 40430520.
Find LCM of 936,265,234,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 936, 265, 234, 978 |
| 3 | 468, 265, 117, 489 |
| 3 | 156, 265, 39, 163 |
| 13 | 52, 265, 13, 163 |
| 4, 265, 1, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 4 x 265 x 1 x 163 = 40430520
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 936,265,234,978 is 40430520.
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.
936 x 265 x 234 x 978 = 56764450080
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.
936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936
265 : 1, 5, 53, 265
234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234
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 936,265,234,978, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13
265:5x 53
234:2x 3x 3x 13
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 3x 3x 13 = 1404
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1404.
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 = 56764450080/(1x1404)
LCM = 56764450080/1404
LCM = 40430520
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 936,265,234,978 is 40430520.
