Given numbers are 957,294,314,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 957,294,314,986 is 250314834.
Find LCM of 957,294,314,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 957, 294, 314, 986 |
| 3 | 957, 147, 157, 493 |
| 29 | 319, 49, 157, 493 |
| 11, 49, 157, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 29 x 11 x 49 x 157 x 17 = 250314834
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 957,294,314,986 is 250314834.
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.
957 x 294 x 314 x 986 = 87109562232
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.
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
294 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 49, 98, 147, 294
314 : 1, 2, 157, 314
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 957,294,314,986, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
957:3x 11x 29
294:2x 3x 7x 7
314:2x 157
986:2x 17x 29
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 29 = 348
Therefore, the value for common factors is 348.
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 = 87109562232/(1x348)
LCM = 87109562232/348
LCM = 250314834
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 957,294,314,986 is 250314834.
