Given numbers are 259,970,842,956

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

The LCM of 259,970,842,956 is 50557022740.

Find LCM of 259,970,842,956 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 259 x 485 x 421 x 478 = 50557022740

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,970,842,956 is 50557022740.

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 970 x 842 x 956 = 202228090960

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

970 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970

842 : 1, 2, 421, 842

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,970,842,956, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

970:2x 5x 97

842:2x 421

956:2x 2x 239

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 202228090960/(1x4)

LCM = 202228090960/4

LCM = 50557022740

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,970,842,956 is 50557022740.
