Given numbers are 656,944,326,542,540

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 656,944,326,542,540 is 230805691920.

Find LCM of 656,944,326,542,540 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41 x 59 x 163 x 271 x 135 = 230805691920

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 656,944,326,542,540 is 230805691920.

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 944 x 326 x 542 x 540 = 59086257131520

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

944 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944

326 : 1, 2, 163, 326

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 656,944,326,542,540, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41

944:2x 2x 2x 2x 59

326:2x 163

542:2x 271

540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 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 2x 2x 2x 2x 2 = 128

Therefore, the value for common factors is 128.

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 = 59086257131520/(2x128)

LCM = 59086257131520/256

LCM = 230805691920

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 656,944,326,542,540 is 230805691920.
