Given numbers are 259,328,697,238
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 259,328,697,238 is 1444184.
Find LCM of 259,328,697,238 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 259, 328, 697, 238 |
| 7 | 259, 164, 697, 119 |
| 17 | 37, 164, 697, 17 |
| 41 | 37, 164, 41, 1 |
| 37, 4, 1, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 17 x 41 x 37 x 4 x 1 x 1 = 1444184
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,328,697,238 is 1444184.
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 328 x 697 x 238 = 14092347472
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
328 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 41, 82, 164, 328
697 : 1, 17, 41, 697
238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,328,697,238, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
259:7x 37
328:2x 2x 2x 41
697:17x 41
238:2x 7x 17
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7x 17x 41 = 9758
Therefore, the value for common factors is 9758.
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 = 14092347472/(1x9758)
LCM = 14092347472/9758
LCM = 1444184
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,328,697,238 is 1444184.
