Given numbers are 974,260,858,431
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 974,260,858,431 is 1800916260.
Find LCM of 974,260,858,431 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 974, 260, 858, 431 |
| 13 | 487, 130, 429, 431 |
| 487, 10, 33, 431 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 13 x 487 x 10 x 33 x 431 = 1800916260
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 974,260,858,431 is 1800916260.
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.
974 x 260 x 858 x 431 = 93647645520
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.
974 : 1, 2, 487, 974
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
858 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 13, 22, 26, 33, 39, 66, 78, 143, 286, 429, 858
431 : 1, 431
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 974,260,858,431, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
974:2x 487
260:2x 2x 5x 13
858:2x 3x 11x 13
431:431
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 13 = 52
Therefore, the value for common factors is 52.
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 = 93647645520/(1x52)
LCM = 93647645520/52
LCM = 1800916260
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 974,260,858,431 is 1800916260.
