Given numbers are 258,638,418,272,342
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 258,638,418,272,342 is 638005104.
Find LCM of 258,638,418,272,342 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 258, 638, 418, 272, 342 |
| 3 | 129, 319, 209, 136, 171 |
| 11 | 43, 319, 209, 136, 57 |
| 19 | 43, 29, 19, 136, 57 |
| 43, 29, 1, 136, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 19 x 43 x 29 x 1 x 136 x 3 = 638005104
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 258,638,418,272,342 is 638005104.
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 638 x 418 x 272 x 342 = 6400467203328
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
638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638
418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418
272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 258,638,418,272,342, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
258:2x 3x 43
638:2x 11x 29
418:2x 11x 19
272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17
342:2x 3x 3x 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 2x 2x 3x 11x 19 = 5016
Therefore, the value for common factors is 5016.
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 = 6400467203328/(2x5016)
LCM = 6400467203328/10032
LCM = 638005104
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 258,638,418,272,342 is 638005104.
