Given numbers are 987,950,585,917
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 987,950,585,917 is 4790453850.
Find LCM of 987,950,585,917 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 987, 950, 585, 917 |
| 5 | 329, 950, 195, 917 |
| 7 | 329, 190, 39, 917 |
| 47, 190, 39, 131 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 5 x 7 x 47 x 190 x 39 x 131 = 4790453850
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 987,950,585,917 is 4790453850.
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 950 x 585 x 917 = 502997654250
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
950 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950
585 : 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 15, 39, 45, 65, 117, 195, 585
917 : 1, 7, 131, 917
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 987,950,585,917, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
987:3x 7x 47
950:2x 5x 5x 19
585:3x 3x 5x 13
917:7x 131
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 5x 7 = 105
Therefore, the value for common factors is 105.
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 = 502997654250/(1x105)
LCM = 502997654250/105
LCM = 4790453850
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 987,950,585,917 is 4790453850.
