Given numbers are 654,442,116,986
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 654,442,116,986 is 8382972.
Find LCM of 654,442,116,986 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 654, 442, 116, 986 |
| 17 | 327, 221, 58, 493 |
| 29 | 327, 13, 58, 29 |
| 327, 13, 2, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 17 x 29 x 327 x 13 x 2 x 1 = 8382972
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 654,442,116,986 is 8382972.
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.
654 x 442 x 116 x 986 = 33062441568
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.
654 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 109, 218, 327, 654
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
116 : 1, 2, 4, 29, 58, 116
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 654,442,116,986, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
654:2x 3x 109
442:2x 13x 17
116:2x 2x 29
986:2x 17x 29
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 17x 29 = 1972
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1972.
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 = 33062441568/(2x1972)
LCM = 33062441568/3944
LCM = 8382972
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 654,442,116,986 is 8382972.
