Given numbers are 982,872,397,420
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 982,872,397,420 is 17847516120.
Find LCM of 982,872,397,420 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 982, 872, 397, 420 |
| 2 | 491, 436, 397, 210 |
| 491, 218, 397, 105 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 491 x 218 x 397 x 105 = 17847516120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 982,872,397,420 is 17847516120.
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.
982 x 872 x 397 x 420 = 142780128960
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.
982 : 1, 2, 491, 982
872 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 109, 218, 436, 872
397 : 1, 397
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 982,872,397,420, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
982:2x 491
872:2x 2x 2x 109
397:397
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
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 = 142780128960/(1x8)
LCM = 142780128960/8
LCM = 17847516120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 982,872,397,420 is 17847516120.
