Given numbers are 978,689,826,469,178
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,689,826,469,178 is 1659483496398.
Find LCM of 978,689,826,469,178 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 689, 826, 469, 178 |
| 7 | 489, 689, 413, 469, 89 |
| 489, 689, 59, 67, 89 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 489 x 689 x 59 x 67 x 89 = 1659483496398
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,689,826,469,178 is 1659483496398.
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 689 x 826 x 469 x 178 = 46465537899144
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
689 : 1, 13, 53, 689
826 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 59, 118, 413, 826
469 : 1, 7, 67, 469
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,689,826,469,178, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
689:13x 53
826:2x 7x 59
469:7x 67
178:2x 89
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 7 = 28
Therefore, the value for common factors is 28.
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 = 46465537899144/(1x28)
LCM = 46465537899144/28
LCM = 1659483496398
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,689,826,469,178 is 1659483496398.
