Given numbers are 159,636,688,509,845
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 159,636,688,509,845 is 47050046160.
Find LCM of 159,636,688,509,845 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 159, 636, 688, 509, 845 |
| 2 | 159, 318, 344, 509, 845 |
| 3 | 159, 159, 172, 509, 845 |
| 53 | 53, 53, 172, 509, 845 |
| 1, 1, 172, 509, 845 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 53 x 1 x 1 x 172 x 509 x 845 = 47050046160
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,636,688,509,845 is 47050046160.
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.
159 x 636 x 688 x 509 x 845 = 29923829357760
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.
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
636 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 53, 106, 159, 212, 318, 636
688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688
509 : 1, 509
845 : 1, 5, 13, 65, 169, 845
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,636,688,509,845, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
159:3x 53
636:2x 2x 3x 53
688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43
509:509
845:5x 13x 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 3x 53 = 636
Therefore, the value for common factors is 636.
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 = 29923829357760/(1x636)
LCM = 29923829357760/636
LCM = 47050046160
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,636,688,509,845 is 47050046160.
