Given numbers are 984,978,939,196
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 984,978,939,196 is 2459932104.
Find LCM of 984,978,939,196 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 984, 978, 939, 196 |
| 2 | 492, 489, 939, 98 |
| 3 | 246, 489, 939, 49 |
| 82, 163, 313, 49 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 82 x 163 x 313 x 49 = 2459932104
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 984,978,939,196 is 2459932104.
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.
984 x 978 x 939 x 196 = 177115111488
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.
984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
939 : 1, 3, 313, 939
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 984,978,939,196, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41
978:2x 3x 163
939:3x 313
196:2x 2x 7x 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 2x 3x 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 177115111488/(1x72)
LCM = 177115111488/72
LCM = 2459932104
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 984,978,939,196 is 2459932104.
