Given numbers are 515,260,590,968
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 515,260,590,968 is 382364840.
Find LCM of 515,260,590,968 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 515, 260, 590, 968 |
| 2 | 515, 130, 295, 484 |
| 5 | 515, 65, 295, 242 |
| 103, 13, 59, 242 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 103 x 13 x 59 x 242 = 382364840
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 515,260,590,968 is 382364840.
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.
515 x 260 x 590 x 968 = 76472968000
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.
515 : 1, 5, 103, 515
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
590 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 59, 118, 295, 590
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 515,260,590,968, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
515:5x 103
260:2x 2x 5x 13
590:2x 5x 59
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
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 5x 5 = 200
Therefore, the value for common factors is 200.
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 = 76472968000/(1x200)
LCM = 76472968000/200
LCM = 382364840
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 515,260,590,968 is 382364840.
