Given numbers are 970,506,161,873
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 970,506,161,873 is 15460830.
Find LCM of 970,506,161,873 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 970, 506, 161, 873 |
| 23 | 485, 253, 161, 873 |
| 97 | 485, 11, 7, 873 |
| 5, 11, 7, 9 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 23 x 97 x 5 x 11 x 7 x 9 = 15460830
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 970,506,161,873 is 15460830.
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.
970 x 506 x 161 x 873 = 68986223460
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.
970 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970
506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506
161 : 1, 7, 23, 161
873 : 1, 3, 9, 97, 291, 873
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 970,506,161,873, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
970:2x 5x 97
506:2x 11x 23
161:7x 23
873:3x 3x 97
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 23x 97 = 4462
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4462.
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 = 68986223460/(1x4462)
LCM = 68986223460/4462
LCM = 15460830
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 970,506,161,873 is 15460830.
