Given numbers are 159,985,822,197
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 159,985,822,197 is 42912510.
Find LCM of 159,985,822,197 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 159, 985, 822, 197 |
| 197 | 53, 985, 274, 197 |
| 53, 5, 274, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 197 x 53 x 5 x 274 x 1 = 42912510
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 159,985,822,197 is 42912510.
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 985 x 822 x 197 = 25361293410
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
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
822 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 137, 274, 411, 822
197 : 1, 197
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 159,985,822,197, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
159:3x 53
985:5x 197
822:2x 3x 137
197:197
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 197 = 591
Therefore, the value for common factors is 591.
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 = 25361293410/(1x591)
LCM = 25361293410/591
LCM = 42912510
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 159,985,822,197 is 42912510.
