Given numbers are 596,298,946,131
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 596,298,946,131 is 36929948.
Find LCM of 596,298,946,131 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 596, 298, 946, 131 |
| 149 | 298, 149, 473, 131 |
| 2, 1, 473, 131 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 149 x 2 x 1 x 473 x 131 = 36929948
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 596,298,946,131 is 36929948.
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.
596 x 298 x 946 x 131 = 22010249008
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.
596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596
298 : 1, 2, 149, 298
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
131 : 1, 131
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 596,298,946,131, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
596:2x 2x 149
298:2x 149
946:2x 11x 43
131:131
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 149 = 596
Therefore, the value for common factors is 596.
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 = 22010249008/(1x596)
LCM = 22010249008/596
LCM = 36929948
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 596,298,946,131 is 36929948.
