Given numbers are 978,117,737,388

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 978,117,737,388 is 5453466876.

Find LCM of 978,117,737,388 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 3 x 163 x 39 x 737 x 194 = 5453466876

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,117,737,388 is 5453466876.

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.

978 x 117 x 737 x 388 = 32720801256

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.

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

117 : 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117

737 : 1, 11, 67, 737

388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,117,737,388, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

978:2x 3x 163

117:3x 3x 13

737:11x 67

388:2x 2x 97

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 32720801256/(1x6)

LCM = 32720801256/6

LCM = 5453466876

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,117,737,388 is 5453466876.
