Given numbers are 655,297,188,500
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 655,297,188,500 is 914314500.
Find LCM of 655,297,188,500 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 655, 297, 188, 500 |
| 2 | 655, 297, 94, 250 |
| 5 | 655, 297, 47, 125 |
| 131, 297, 47, 25 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 131 x 297 x 47 x 25 = 914314500
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 655,297,188,500 is 914314500.
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.
655 x 297 x 188 x 500 = 18286290000
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.
655 : 1, 5, 131, 655
297 : 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 99, 297
188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188
500 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 655,297,188,500, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
655:5x 131
297:3x 3x 3x 11
188:2x 2x 47
500:2x 2x 5x 5x 5
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 5 = 20
Therefore, the value for common factors is 20.
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 = 18286290000/(1x20)
LCM = 18286290000/20
LCM = 914314500
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 655,297,188,500 is 914314500.
