Given numbers are 232,456,988,259,397

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

The LCM of 232,456,988,259,397 is 17676507576.

Find LCM of 232,456,988,259,397 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 19 x 29 x 3 x 13 x 259 x 397 = 17676507576

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 232,456,988,259,397 is 17676507576.

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.

232 x 456 x 988 x 259 x 397 = 10747316606208

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.

232 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232

456 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 19, 24, 38, 57, 76, 114, 152, 228, 456

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

397 : 1, 397

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 232,456,988,259,397, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

232:2x 2x 2x 29

456:2x 2x 2x 3x 19

988:2x 2x 13x 19

259:7x 37

397:397

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 2x 2x 2x 19 = 608

Therefore, the value for common factors is 608.

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 = 10747316606208/(1x608)

LCM = 10747316606208/608

LCM = 17676507576

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 232,456,988,259,397 is 17676507576.
