Given numbers are 966,278,661,285
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 966,278,661,285 is 8431735830.
Find LCM of 966,278,661,285 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 966, 278, 661, 285 |
| 3 | 483, 139, 661, 285 |
| 161, 139, 661, 95 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 161 x 139 x 661 x 95 = 8431735830
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 966,278,661,285 is 8431735830.
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 278 x 661 x 285 = 50590414980
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
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
661 : 1, 661
285 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 19, 57, 95, 285
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 966,278,661,285, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
966:2x 3x 7x 23
278:2x 139
661:661
285:3x 5x 19
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 50590414980/(1x6)
LCM = 50590414980/6
LCM = 8431735830
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 966,278,661,285 is 8431735830.
