Given numbers are 425,680,260
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 425,680,260 is 44200.
Find LCM of 425,680,260 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 425, 680, 260 |
| 2 | 425, 340, 130 |
| 5 | 425, 170, 65 |
| 17 | 85, 34, 13 |
| 5, 2, 13 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 17 x 5 x 2 x 13 = 44200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 425,680,260 is 44200.
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.
425 x 680 x 260 = 75140000
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.
425 : 1, 5, 17, 25, 85, 425
680 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 17, 20, 34, 40, 68, 85, 136, 170, 340, 680
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
5 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 425,680,260, is 5.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
425:5x 5x 17
680:2x 2x 2x 5x 17
260:2x 2x 5x 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 2x 5x 17 = 340
Therefore, the value for common factors is 340.
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 = 75140000/(5x340)
LCM = 75140000/1700
LCM = 44200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 425,680,260 is 44200.
