Given numbers are 538,989,958

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

The LCM of 538,989,958 is 254867278.

Find LCM of 538,989,958 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 269 x 989 x 479 = 254867278

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 538,989,958 is 254867278.

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.

538 x 989 x 958 = 509734556

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.

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

989 : 1, 23, 43, 989

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 538,989,958, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

538:2x 269

989:23x 43

958:2x 479

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 509734556/(1x2)

LCM = 509734556/2

LCM = 254867278

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 538,989,958 is 254867278.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 951, 245, 937
