Given numbers are 969,978,504,342
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 969,978,504,342 is 26535096.
Find LCM of 969,978,504,342 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 969, 978, 504, 342 |
| 3 | 969, 489, 252, 171 |
| 3 | 323, 163, 84, 57 |
| 19 | 323, 163, 28, 19 |
| 17, 163, 28, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 19 x 17 x 163 x 28 x 1 = 26535096
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 969,978,504,342 is 26535096.
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 978 x 504 x 342 = 163350050976
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
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
504 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 24, 28, 36, 42, 56, 63, 72, 84, 126, 168, 252, 504
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
3 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 969,978,504,342, is 3.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
969:3x 17x 19
978:2x 3x 163
504:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 7
342:2x 3x 3x 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 2x 3x 3x 3x 19 = 2052
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2052.
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 = 163350050976/(3x2052)
LCM = 163350050976/6156
LCM = 26535096
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 969,978,504,342 is 26535096.
