Given numbers are 656,431,533,188
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 656,431,533,188 is 172751696.
Find LCM of 656,431,533,188 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 656, 431, 533, 188 |
| 2 | 328, 431, 533, 94 |
| 41 | 164, 431, 533, 47 |
| 4, 431, 13, 47 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 41 x 4 x 431 x 13 x 47 = 172751696
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 656,431,533,188 is 172751696.
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.
656 x 431 x 533 x 188 = 28331278144
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.
656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656
431 : 1, 431
533 : 1, 13, 41, 533
188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 656,431,533,188, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41
431:431
533:13x 41
188:2x 2x 47
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 41 = 164
Therefore, the value for common factors is 164.
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 = 28331278144/(1x164)
LCM = 28331278144/164
LCM = 172751696
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 656,431,533,188 is 172751696.
