The LCM of 976,996,976,138 is 5589552.
Find LCM of 976,996,976,138 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 976, 996, 976, 138 |
| 2 | 488, 498, 488, 69 |
| 2 | 244, 249, 244, 69 |
| 2 | 122, 249, 122, 69 |
| 3 | 61, 249, 61, 69 |
| 61 | 61, 83, 61, 23 |
| 1, 83, 1, 23 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 61 x 1 x 83 x 1 x 23 = 5589552
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 976,996,976,138 is 5589552.
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.
976 x 996 x 976 x 138 = 130929666048
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.
976 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 61, 122, 244, 488, 976
996 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
976 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 61, 122, 244, 488, 976
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 976,996,976,138, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
976:2x 2x 2x 2x 61
996:2x 2x 3x 83
976:2x 2x 2x 2x 61
138:2x 3x 23
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 2x 2x 3x 61 = 11712
Therefore, the value for common factors is 11712.
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 = 130929666048/(2x11712)
LCM = 130929666048/23424
LCM = 5589552
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 976,996,976,138 is 5589552.
