Given numbers are 978,496,689,371
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,496,689,371 is 1169789712.
Find LCM of 978,496,689,371 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 496, 689, 371 |
| 53 | 489, 248, 689, 371 |
| 489, 248, 13, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 53 x 489 x 248 x 13 x 7 = 1169789712
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,496,689,371 is 1169789712.
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 496 x 689 x 371 = 123997709472
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
496 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248, 496
689 : 1, 13, 53, 689
371 : 1, 7, 53, 371
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,496,689,371, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31
689:13x 53
371:7x 53
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 53 = 106
Therefore, the value for common factors is 106.
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 = 123997709472/(1x106)
LCM = 123997709472/106
LCM = 1169789712
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,496,689,371 is 1169789712.
