Given numbers are 436,342,988,659
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 436,342,988,659 is 638721252.
Find LCM of 436,342,988,659 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 436, 342, 988, 659 |
| 2 | 218, 171, 494, 659 |
| 19 | 109, 171, 247, 659 |
| 109, 9, 13, 659 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 19 x 109 x 9 x 13 x 659 = 638721252
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 436,342,988,659 is 638721252.
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.
436 x 342 x 988 x 659 = 97085630304
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.
436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
659 : 1, 659
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 436,342,988,659, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
436:2x 2x 109
342:2x 3x 3x 19
988:2x 2x 13x 19
659:659
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 2x 19 = 152
Therefore, the value for common factors is 152.
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 = 97085630304/(1x152)
LCM = 97085630304/152
LCM = 638721252
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 436,342,988,659 is 638721252.
