Given numbers are 596,358,260,956
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 596,358,260,956 is 1657335940.
Find LCM of 596,358,260,956 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 596, 358, 260, 956 |
| 2 | 298, 179, 130, 478 |
| 149, 179, 65, 239 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 149 x 179 x 65 x 239 = 1657335940
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 596,358,260,956 is 1657335940.
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 358 x 260 x 956 = 53034750080
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
358 : 1, 2, 179, 358
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 596,358,260,956, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
596:2x 2x 149
358:2x 179
260:2x 2x 5x 13
956:2x 2x 239
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 2 = 16
Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.
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 = 53034750080/(2x16)
LCM = 53034750080/32
LCM = 1657335940
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 596,358,260,956 is 1657335940.
