Given numbers are 978,917,993,862
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,917,993,862 is 127942093986.
Find LCM of 978,917,993,862 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 917, 993, 862 |
| 3 | 489, 917, 993, 431 |
| 163, 917, 331, 431 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 163 x 917 x 331 x 431 = 127942093986
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,917,993,862 is 127942093986.
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 917 x 993 x 862 = 767652563916
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
917 : 1, 7, 131, 917
993 : 1, 3, 331, 993
862 : 1, 2, 431, 862
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,917,993,862, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
917:7x 131
993:3x 331
862:2x 431
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 767652563916/(1x6)
LCM = 767652563916/6
LCM = 127942093986
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,917,993,862 is 127942093986.
