Given numbers are 254,686,757,196
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 254,686,757,196 is 131902708.
Find LCM of 254,686,757,196 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 254, 686, 757, 196 |
| 7 | 127, 343, 757, 98 |
| 7 | 127, 49, 757, 14 |
| 127, 7, 757, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 7 x 127 x 7 x 757 x 2 = 131902708
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 254,686,757,196 is 131902708.
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.
254 x 686 x 757 x 196 = 25852930768
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.
254 : 1, 2, 127, 254
686 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98, 343, 686
757 : 1, 757
196 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 254,686,757,196, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
254:2x 127
686:2x 7x 7x 7
757:757
196:2x 2x 7x 7
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 7x 7 = 196
Therefore, the value for common factors is 196.
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 = 25852930768/(1x196)
LCM = 25852930768/196
LCM = 131902708
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 254,686,757,196 is 131902708.
