Given numbers are 958,878,168,500
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 958,878,168,500 is 4415901000.
Find LCM of 958,878,168,500 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 958, 878, 168, 500 |
| 2 | 479, 439, 84, 250 |
| 479, 439, 42, 125 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 479 x 439 x 42 x 125 = 4415901000
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 958,878,168,500 is 4415901000.
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 878 x 168 x 500 = 70654416000
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
878 : 1, 2, 439, 878
168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
500 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 958,878,168,500, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
958:2x 479
878:2x 439
168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7
500:2x 2x 5x 5x 5
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 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 70654416000/(2x8)
LCM = 70654416000/16
LCM = 4415901000
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 958,878,168,500 is 4415901000.
