Given numbers are 253,158,994,988
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 253,158,994,988 is 9814336532.
Find LCM of 253,158,994,988 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 253, 158, 994, 988 |
| 253, 79, 497, 494 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 253 x 79 x 497 x 494 = 9814336532
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 253,158,994,988 is 9814336532.
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.
253 x 158 x 994 x 988 = 39257346128
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.
253 : 1, 11, 23, 253
158 : 1, 2, 79, 158
994 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 71, 142, 497, 994
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 253,158,994,988, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
253:11x 23
158:2x 79
994:2x 7x 71
988:2x 2x 13x 19
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 = 39257346128/(1x4)
LCM = 39257346128/4
LCM = 9814336532
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 253,158,994,988 is 9814336532.
