Given numbers are 938,978,959,702
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 938,978,959,702 is 7352213778.
Find LCM of 938,978,959,702 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 938, 978, 959, 702 |
| 3 | 469, 489, 959, 351 |
| 7 | 469, 163, 959, 117 |
| 67, 163, 137, 117 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 67 x 163 x 137 x 117 = 7352213778
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 938,978,959,702 is 7352213778.
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.
938 x 978 x 959 x 702 = 617585957352
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.
938 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 67, 134, 469, 938
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
702 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 27, 39, 54, 78, 117, 234, 351, 702
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 938,978,959,702, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
938:2x 7x 67
978:2x 3x 163
959:7x 137
702:2x 3x 3x 3x 13
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 7 = 84
Therefore, the value for common factors is 84.
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 = 617585957352/(1x84)
LCM = 617585957352/84
LCM = 7352213778
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 938,978,959,702 is 7352213778.
