Given numbers are 974,634,978,279
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 974,634,978,279 is 14041387566.
Find LCM of 974,634,978,279 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 974, 634, 978, 279 |
| 3 | 487, 317, 489, 279 |
| 487, 317, 163, 93 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 487 x 317 x 163 x 93 = 14041387566
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 974,634,978,279 is 14041387566.
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 634 x 978 x 279 = 168496650792
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
634 : 1, 2, 317, 634
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 974,634,978,279, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
974:2x 487
634:2x 317
978:2x 3x 163
279:3x 3x 31
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 168496650792/(1x12)
LCM = 168496650792/12
LCM = 14041387566
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 974,634,978,279 is 14041387566.
