Given numbers are 261,989,598,989
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,989,598,989 is 6711354.
Find LCM of 261,989,598,989 with Prime Factorization
| 23 | 261, 989, 598, 989 |
| 43 | 261, 43, 26, 43 |
| 261, 1, 26, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
23 x 43 x 261 x 1 x 26 x 1 = 6711354
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,989,598,989 is 6711354.
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.
261 x 989 x 598 x 989 = 152663169438
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.
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
989 : 1, 23, 43, 989
598 : 1, 2, 13, 23, 26, 46, 299, 598
989 : 1, 23, 43, 989
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,989,598,989, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
989:23x 43
598:2x 13x 23
989:23x 43
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
23x 23x 43 = 22747
Therefore, the value for common factors is 22747.
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 = 152663169438/(1x22747)
LCM = 152663169438/22747
LCM = 6711354
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,989,598,989 is 6711354.
