Given numbers are 259,212,978,429

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 259,212,978,429 is 3839551716.

Find LCM of 259,212,978,429 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 3 x 259 x 106 x 163 x 143 = 3839551716

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,212,978,429 is 3839551716.

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.

259 x 212 x 978 x 429 = 23037310296

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.

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

212 : 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,212,978,429, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

212:2x 2x 53

978:2x 3x 163

429:3x 11x 13

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 23037310296/(1x6)

LCM = 23037310296/6

LCM = 3839551716

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,212,978,429 is 3839551716.
