Given numbers are 981,460,502,956
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 981,460,502,956 is 27070636140.
Find LCM of 981,460,502,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 981, 460, 502, 956 |
| 2 | 981, 230, 251, 478 |
| 981, 115, 251, 239 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 981 x 115 x 251 x 239 = 27070636140
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 981,460,502,956 is 27070636140.
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.
981 x 460 x 502 x 956 = 216565089120
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.
981 : 1, 3, 9, 109, 327, 981
460 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 46, 92, 115, 230, 460
502 : 1, 2, 251, 502
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 981,460,502,956, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
981:3x 3x 109
460:2x 2x 5x 23
502:2x 251
956:2x 2x 239
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 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 216565089120/(1x8)
LCM = 216565089120/8
LCM = 27070636140
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 981,460,502,956 is 27070636140.
