Given numbers are 118,588,551,254
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 118,588,551,254 is 2427642084.
Find LCM of 118,588,551,254 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 118, 588, 551, 254 |
| 59, 294, 551, 127 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 59 x 294 x 551 x 127 = 2427642084
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,588,551,254 is 2427642084.
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.
118 x 588 x 551 x 254 = 9710568336
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.
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
551 : 1, 19, 29, 551
254 : 1, 2, 127, 254
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,588,551,254, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
118:2x 59
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7
551:19x 29
254:2x 127
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 9710568336/(1x4)
LCM = 9710568336/4
LCM = 2427642084
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,588,551,254 is 2427642084.
