Given numbers are 979,506,578,442
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 979,506,578,442 is 169192738.
Find LCM of 979,506,578,442 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 979, 506, 578, 442 |
| 11 | 979, 253, 289, 221 |
| 17 | 89, 23, 289, 221 |
| 89, 23, 17, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 17 x 89 x 23 x 17 x 13 = 169192738
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 979,506,578,442 is 169192738.
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 506 x 578 x 442 = 126556168024
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
506 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 253, 506
578 : 1, 2, 17, 34, 289, 578
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 979,506,578,442, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
979:11x 89
506:2x 11x 23
578:2x 17x 17
442:2x 13x 17
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 17 = 748
Therefore, the value for common factors is 748.
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 = 126556168024/(1x748)
LCM = 126556168024/748
LCM = 169192738
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 979,506,578,442 is 169192738.
