Given numbers are 958,530,162,356,978
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 958,530,162,356,978 is 596628518580.
Find LCM of 958,530,162,356,978 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 958, 530, 162, 356, 978 |
| 3 | 479, 265, 81, 178, 489 |
| 479, 265, 27, 178, 163 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 479 x 265 x 27 x 178 x 163 = 596628518580
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 958,530,162,356,978 is 596628518580.
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.
958 x 530 x 162 x 356 x 978 = 28638168891840
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.
958 : 1, 2, 479, 958
530 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 53, 106, 265, 530
162 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
356 : 1, 2, 4, 89, 178, 356
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 958,530,162,356,978, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
958:2x 479
530:2x 5x 53
162:2x 3x 3x 3x 3
356:2x 2x 89
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 2x 3 = 24
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.
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 = 28638168891840/(2x24)
LCM = 28638168891840/48
LCM = 596628518580
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 958,530,162,356,978 is 596628518580.
