Given numbers are 596,972,778,262
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 596,972,778,262 is 7380290052.
Find LCM of 596,972,778,262 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 596, 972, 778, 262 |
| 2 | 298, 486, 389, 131 |
| 149, 243, 389, 131 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 149 x 243 x 389 x 131 = 7380290052
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 596,972,778,262 is 7380290052.
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 972 x 778 x 262 = 118084640832
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
972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972
778 : 1, 2, 389, 778
262 : 1, 2, 131, 262
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 596,972,778,262, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
596:2x 2x 149
972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3
778:2x 389
262:2x 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 2 = 8
Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.
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 = 118084640832/(2x8)
LCM = 118084640832/16
LCM = 7380290052
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 596,972,778,262 is 7380290052.
