Given numbers are 514,879,257,986

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

The LCM of 514,879,257,986 is 222740358.

Find LCM of 514,879,257,986 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 257 x 1 x 879 x 1 x 493 = 222740358

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 514,879,257,986 is 222740358.

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.

514 x 879 x 257 x 986 = 114488544012

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.

514 : 1, 2, 257, 514

879 : 1, 3, 293, 879

257 : 1, 257

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 514,879,257,986, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

514:2x 257

879:3x 293

257:257

986:2x 17x 29

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

2x 257 = 514

Therefore, the value for common factors is 514.

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 = 114488544012/(1x514)

LCM = 114488544012/514

LCM = 222740358

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 514,879,257,986 is 222740358.
