The LCM of 974,696,720,490 is 498259440.
Find LCM of 974,696,720,490 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 974, 696, 720, 490 |
| 2 | 487, 348, 360, 245 |
| 2 | 487, 174, 180, 245 |
| 3 | 487, 87, 90, 245 |
| 5 | 487, 29, 30, 245 |
| 487, 29, 6, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 487 x 29 x 6 x 49 = 498259440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 974,696,720,490 is 498259440.
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 696 x 720 x 490 = 239164531200
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
696 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 29, 58, 87, 116, 174, 232, 348, 696
720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720
490 : 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 49, 70, 98, 245, 490
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 974,696,720,490, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
974:2x 487
696:2x 2x 2x 3x 29
720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
490:2x 5x 7x 7
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 2x 2x 3x 5 = 240
Therefore, the value for common factors is 240.
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 = 239164531200/(2x240)
LCM = 239164531200/480
LCM = 498259440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 974,696,720,490 is 498259440.
