Given numbers are 978,37,662

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

The LCM of 978,37,662 is 11977566.

Find LCM of 978,37,662 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 489 x 37 x 331 = 11977566

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,37,662 is 11977566.

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 37 x 662 = 23955132

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

37 : 1, 37

662 : 1, 2, 331, 662

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,37,662, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

978:2x 3x 163

37:37

662:2x 331

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 23955132/(1x2)

LCM = 23955132/2

LCM = 11977566

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,37,662 is 11977566.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 909, 59, 949
• LCM of 728, 97, 959
• LCM of 791, 99, 876
