Given numbers are 250,418,150,956
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 250,418,150,956 is 74926500.
Find LCM of 250,418,150,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 250, 418, 150, 956 |
| 5 | 125, 209, 75, 478 |
| 5 | 25, 209, 15, 478 |
| 5, 209, 3, 478 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 209 x 3 x 478 = 74926500
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 250,418,150,956 is 74926500.
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.
250 x 418 x 150 x 956 = 14985300000
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.
250 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125, 250
418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418
150 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 150
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 250,418,150,956, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
250:2x 5x 5x 5
418:2x 11x 19
150:2x 3x 5x 5
956:2x 2x 239
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 5x 5 = 100
Therefore, the value for common factors is 100.
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 = 14985300000/(2x100)
LCM = 14985300000/200
LCM = 74926500
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 250,418,150,956 is 74926500.
