Given numbers are 957,471,957,372
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 957,471,957,372 is 18630876.
Find LCM of 957,471,957,372 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 957, 471, 957, 372 |
| 11 | 319, 157, 319, 124 |
| 29 | 29, 157, 29, 124 |
| 1, 157, 1, 124 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 11 x 29 x 1 x 157 x 1 x 124 = 18630876
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 957,471,957,372 is 18630876.
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 471 x 957 x 372 = 160467734988
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
471 : 1, 3, 157, 471
957 : 1, 3, 11, 29, 33, 87, 319, 957
372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 957,471,957,372, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
957:3x 11x 29
471:3x 157
957:3x 11x 29
372:2x 2x 3x 31
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 11x 29 = 2871
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2871.
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 = 160467734988/(3x2871)
LCM = 160467734988/8613
LCM = 18630876
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 957,471,957,372 is 18630876.
