Given numbers are 981,545,261,989
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 981,545,261,989 is 140680305.
Find LCM of 981,545,261,989 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 981, 545, 261, 989 |
| 3 | 327, 545, 87, 989 |
| 109 | 109, 545, 29, 989 |
| 1, 5, 29, 989 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 3 x 109 x 1 x 5 x 29 x 989 = 140680305
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 981,545,261,989 is 140680305.
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 545 x 261 x 989 = 138007379205
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
545 : 1, 5, 109, 545
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
989 : 1, 23, 43, 989
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 981,545,261,989, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
981:3x 3x 109
545:5x 109
261:3x 3x 29
989:23x 43
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 109 = 981
Therefore, the value for common factors is 981.
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 = 138007379205/(1x981)
LCM = 138007379205/981
LCM = 140680305
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 981,545,261,989 is 140680305.
