Given numbers are 981,850,731,946
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 981,850,731,946 is 394411050.
Find LCM of 981,850,731,946 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 981, 850, 731, 946 |
| 17 | 981, 425, 731, 473 |
| 43 | 981, 25, 43, 473 |
| 981, 25, 1, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 43 x 981 x 25 x 1 x 11 = 394411050
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 981,850,731,946 is 394411050.
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 850 x 731 x 946 = 576628955100
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
850 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 25, 34, 50, 85, 170, 425, 850
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 981,850,731,946, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
981:3x 3x 109
850:2x 5x 5x 17
731:17x 43
946:2x 11x 43
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 17x 43 = 1462
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1462.
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 = 576628955100/(1x1462)
LCM = 576628955100/1462
LCM = 394411050
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 981,850,731,946 is 394411050.
