Given numbers are 966,187,715,968
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 966,187,715,968 is 516636120.
Find LCM of 966,187,715,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 966, 187, 715, 968 |
| 11 | 483, 187, 715, 484 |
| 483, 17, 65, 44 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 483 x 17 x 65 x 44 = 516636120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 966,187,715,968 is 516636120.
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.
966 x 187 x 715 x 968 = 125025941040
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.
966 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 23, 42, 46, 69, 138, 161, 322, 483, 966
187 : 1, 11, 17, 187
715 : 1, 5, 11, 13, 55, 65, 143, 715
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 966,187,715,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
966:2x 3x 7x 23
187:11x 17
715:5x 11x 13
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 11x 11 = 242
Therefore, the value for common factors is 242.
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 = 125025941040/(1x242)
LCM = 125025941040/242
LCM = 516636120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 966,187,715,968 is 516636120.
