Given numbers are 969,968,768,973
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 969,968,768,973 is 29205318912.
Find LCM of 969,968,768,973 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 969, 968, 768, 973 |
| 2 | 969, 484, 384, 973 |
| 2 | 969, 242, 192, 973 |
| 3 | 969, 121, 96, 973 |
| 323, 121, 32, 973 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 323 x 121 x 32 x 973 = 29205318912
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 969,968,768,973 is 29205318912.
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.
969 x 968 x 768 x 973 = 700927653888
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.
969 : 1, 3, 17, 19, 51, 57, 323, 969
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
768 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 384, 768
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 969,968,768,973, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
969:3x 17x 19
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
768:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3
973:7x 139
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 = 700927653888/(1x24)
LCM = 700927653888/24
LCM = 29205318912
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 969,968,768,973 is 29205318912.
