Given numbers are 949,962,548,968
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 949,962,548,968 is 4656545608.
Find LCM of 949,962,548,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 949, 962, 548, 968 |
| 2 | 949, 481, 274, 484 |
| 13 | 949, 481, 137, 242 |
| 73, 37, 137, 242 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 13 x 73 x 37 x 137 x 242 = 4656545608
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 949,962,548,968 is 4656545608.
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.
949 x 962 x 548 x 968 = 484280743232
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.
949 : 1, 13, 73, 949
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 949,962,548,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
949:13x 73
962:2x 13x 37
548:2x 2x 137
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
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 13 = 104
Therefore, the value for common factors is 104.
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 = 484280743232/(1x104)
LCM = 484280743232/104
LCM = 4656545608
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 949,962,548,968 is 4656545608.
