Given numbers are 987,224,602,978,858
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 987,224,602,978,858 is 31656232608.
Find LCM of 987,224,602,978,858 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 987, 224, 602, 978, 858 |
| 3 | 987, 112, 301, 489, 429 |
| 7 | 329, 112, 301, 163, 143 |
| 47, 16, 43, 163, 143 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 7 x 47 x 16 x 43 x 163 x 143 = 31656232608
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 987,224,602,978,858 is 31656232608.
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.
987 x 224 x 602 x 978 x 858 = 111683188641024
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.
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224
602 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 43, 86, 301, 602
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
858 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 13, 22, 26, 33, 39, 66, 78, 143, 286, 429, 858
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 987,224,602,978,858, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
987:3x 7x 47
224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7
602:2x 7x 43
978:2x 3x 163
858:2x 3x 11x 13
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 3x 7x 7 = 3528
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3528.
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 = 111683188641024/(1x3528)
LCM = 111683188641024/3528
LCM = 31656232608
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 987,224,602,978,858 is 31656232608.
