Find LCM of 978,496,936,720 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 496, 936, 720 |
| 2 | 489, 248, 468, 360 |
| 2 | 489, 124, 234, 180 |
| 2 | 489, 62, 117, 90 |
| 3 | 489, 31, 117, 45 |
| 3 | 163, 31, 39, 15 |
| 163, 31, 13, 5 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 163 x 31 x 13 x 5 = 47296080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,496,936,720 is 47296080.
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 936 x 720 = 326910504960
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
936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936
720 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 48, 60, 72, 80, 90, 120, 144, 180, 240, 360, 720
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,496,936,720, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
496:2x 2x 2x 2x 31
936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13
720:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 5
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 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3 = 3456
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3456.
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 = 326910504960/(2x3456)
LCM = 326910504960/6912
LCM = 47296080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,496,936,720 is 47296080.
