Given numbers are 979,220,968,557
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 979,220,968,557 is 239933320.
Find LCM of 979,220,968,557 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 979, 220, 968, 557 |
| 2 | 979, 110, 484, 557 |
| 11 | 979, 55, 242, 557 |
| 89, 5, 22, 557 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 11 x 89 x 5 x 22 x 557 = 239933320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 979,220,968,557 is 239933320.
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.
979 x 220 x 968 x 557 = 116127726880
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.
979 : 1, 11, 89, 979
220 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110, 220
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
557 : 1, 557
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 979,220,968,557, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
979:11x 89
220:2x 2x 5x 11
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
557:557
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 11x 11 = 484
Therefore, the value for common factors is 484.
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 = 116127726880/(1x484)
LCM = 116127726880/484
LCM = 239933320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 979,220,968,557 is 239933320.
