Given numbers are 258,172,659,848
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 258,172,659,848 is 72089328.
Find LCM of 258,172,659,848 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 258, 172, 659, 848 |
| 2 | 129, 86, 659, 424 |
| 43 | 129, 43, 659, 212 |
| 3, 1, 659, 212 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 43 x 3 x 1 x 659 x 212 = 72089328
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 258,172,659,848 is 72089328.
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.
258 x 172 x 659 x 848 = 24798728832
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.
258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258
172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172
659 : 1, 659
848 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 258,172,659,848, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
258:2x 3x 43
172:2x 2x 43
659:659
848:2x 2x 2x 2x 53
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 43 = 344
Therefore, the value for common factors is 344.
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 = 24798728832/(1x344)
LCM = 24798728832/344
LCM = 72089328
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 258,172,659,848 is 72089328.
