Given numbers are 518,988,656,984
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 518,988,656,984 is 125898864.
Find LCM of 518,988,656,984 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 518, 988, 656, 984 |
| 2 | 259, 494, 328, 492 |
| 2 | 259, 247, 164, 246 |
| 41 | 259, 247, 82, 123 |
| 259, 247, 2, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 41 x 259 x 247 x 2 x 3 = 125898864
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 518,988,656,984 is 125898864.
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.
518 x 988 x 656 x 984 = 330358619136
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.
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656
984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 518,988,656,984, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
518:2x 7x 37
988:2x 2x 13x 19
656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41
984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41
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 2x 2x 41 = 1312
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1312.
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 = 330358619136/(2x1312)
LCM = 330358619136/2624
LCM = 125898864
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 518,988,656,984 is 125898864.
