Calculate the LCM of 987,240,143,979

Given numbers are 987,240,143,979

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 987,240,143,979 is 1004923920.

Find LCM of 987,240,143,979 with Prime Factorization


3 987, 240, 143, 979
11 329, 80, 143, 979
329, 80, 13, 89

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

3 x 11 x 329 x 80 x 13 x 89 = 1004923920

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 987,240,143,979 is 1004923920.

LCM Formula to Find Lowest Common Multiple of 987,240,143,979

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 240 x 143 x 979 = 33162489360

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

240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240

143 : 1, 11, 13, 143

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 987,240,143,979, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

987:3x 7x 47

240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

143:11x 13

979:11x 89

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

3x 11 = 33

Therefore, the value for common factors is 33.

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 = 33162489360/(1x33)

LCM = 33162489360/33

LCM = 1004923920

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 987,240,143,979 is 1004923920.
