Given numbers are 978,676,948,302
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,676,948,302 is 3943297956.
Find LCM of 978,676,948,302 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 676, 948, 302 |
| 2 | 489, 338, 474, 151 |
| 3 | 489, 169, 237, 151 |
| 163, 169, 79, 151 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 163 x 169 x 79 x 151 = 3943297956
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,676,948,302 is 3943297956.
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 676 x 948 x 302 = 189278301888
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
676 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 169, 338, 676
948 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 79, 158, 237, 316, 474, 948
302 : 1, 2, 151, 302
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,676,948,302, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
676:2x 2x 13x 13
948:2x 2x 3x 79
302:2x 151
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 3 = 24
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.
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 = 189278301888/(2x24)
LCM = 189278301888/48
LCM = 3943297956
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,676,948,302 is 3943297956.
