Given numbers are 978,915,978,436
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,915,978,436 is 65027220.
Find LCM of 978,915,978,436 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 915, 978, 436 |
| 3 | 489, 915, 489, 218 |
| 163 | 163, 305, 163, 218 |
| 1, 305, 1, 218 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 163 x 1 x 305 x 1 x 218 = 65027220
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,915,978,436 is 65027220.
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 915 x 978 x 436 = 381579726960
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
915 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 61, 183, 305, 915
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,915,978,436, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
915:3x 5x 61
978:2x 3x 163
436:2x 2x 109
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 3x 3x 163 = 5868
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5868.
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 = 381579726960/(1x5868)
LCM = 381579726960/5868
LCM = 65027220
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,915,978,436 is 65027220.
