Given numbers are 978,434,589,942
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,434,589,942 is 633070158.
Find LCM of 978,434,589,942 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 434, 589, 942 |
| 3 | 489, 217, 589, 471 |
| 31 | 163, 217, 589, 157 |
| 163, 7, 19, 157 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 31 x 163 x 7 x 19 x 157 = 633070158
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,434,589,942 is 633070158.
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 434 x 589 x 942 = 235502098776
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
434 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 31, 62, 217, 434
589 : 1, 19, 31, 589
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,434,589,942, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
434:2x 7x 31
589:19x 31
942:2x 3x 157
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 3x 31 = 372
Therefore, the value for common factors is 372.
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 = 235502098776/(1x372)
LCM = 235502098776/372
LCM = 633070158
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,434,589,942 is 633070158.
