Given numbers are 254,964,260,252,980
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 254,964,260,252,980 is 3509398620.
Find LCM of 254,964,260,252,980 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 254, 964, 260, 252, 980 |
| 2 | 127, 482, 130, 126, 490 |
| 5 | 127, 241, 65, 63, 245 |
| 7 | 127, 241, 13, 63, 49 |
| 127, 241, 13, 9, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 127 x 241 x 13 x 9 x 7 = 3509398620
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 254,964,260,252,980 is 3509398620.
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 964 x 260 x 252 x 980 = 15722105817600
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
964 : 1, 2, 4, 241, 482, 964
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
980 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 49, 70, 98, 140, 196, 245, 490, 980
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 254,964,260,252,980, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
254:2x 127
964:2x 2x 241
260:2x 2x 5x 13
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
980:2x 2x 5x 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 2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 7 = 2240
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2240.
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 = 15722105817600/(2x2240)
LCM = 15722105817600/4480
LCM = 3509398620
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 254,964,260,252,980 is 3509398620.
