Given numbers are 978,403,150,961
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,403,150,961 is 305453850.
Find LCM of 978,403,150,961 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 403, 150, 961 |
| 3 | 489, 403, 75, 961 |
| 31 | 163, 403, 25, 961 |
| 163, 13, 25, 31 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 31 x 163 x 13 x 25 x 31 = 305453850
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,403,150,961 is 305453850.
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 403 x 150 x 961 = 56814416100
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
403 : 1, 13, 31, 403
150 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 150
961 : 1, 31, 961
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,403,150,961, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
403:13x 31
150:2x 3x 5x 5
961:31x 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 3x 31 = 186
Therefore, the value for common factors is 186.
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 = 56814416100/(1x186)
LCM = 56814416100/186
LCM = 305453850
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,403,150,961 is 305453850.
