Given numbers are 978,436,205,774
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,436,205,774 is 5638179780.
Find LCM of 978,436,205,774 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 436, 205, 774 |
| 3 | 489, 218, 205, 387 |
| 163, 218, 205, 129 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 163 x 218 x 205 x 129 = 5638179780
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,436,205,774 is 5638179780.
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 436 x 205 x 774 = 67658157360
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
436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436
205 : 1, 5, 41, 205
774 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 43, 86, 129, 258, 387, 774
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,436,205,774, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
436:2x 2x 109
205:5x 41
774:2x 3x 3x 43
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 67658157360/(1x12)
LCM = 67658157360/12
LCM = 5638179780
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,436,205,774 is 5638179780.
