Given numbers are 978,968,410,396
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 978,968,410,396 is 291111480.
Find LCM of 978,968,410,396 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 978, 968, 410, 396 |
| 2 | 489, 484, 205, 198 |
| 3 | 489, 242, 205, 99 |
| 11 | 163, 242, 205, 33 |
| 163, 22, 205, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 163 x 22 x 205 x 3 = 291111480
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 978,968,410,396 is 291111480.
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 968 x 410 x 396 = 153706861440
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
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
410 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 41, 82, 205, 410
396 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 22, 33, 36, 44, 66, 99, 132, 198, 396
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 978,968,410,396, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
978:2x 3x 163
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
410:2x 5x 41
396:2x 2x 3x 3x 11
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 3x 11 = 264
Therefore, the value for common factors is 264.
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 = 153706861440/(2x264)
LCM = 153706861440/528
LCM = 291111480
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 978,968,410,396 is 291111480.
