Given numbers are 973,278,421,144
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 973,278,421,144 is 58987152.
Find LCM of 973,278,421,144 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 973, 278, 421, 144 |
| 139 | 973, 139, 421, 72 |
| 7, 1, 421, 72 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 139 x 7 x 1 x 421 x 72 = 58987152
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 973,278,421,144 is 58987152.
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.
973 x 278 x 421 x 144 = 16398428256
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.
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
421 : 1, 421
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 973,278,421,144, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
973:7x 139
278:2x 139
421:421
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 139 = 278
Therefore, the value for common factors is 278.
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 = 16398428256/(1x278)
LCM = 16398428256/278
LCM = 58987152
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 973,278,421,144 is 58987152.
