Given numbers are 659,239,244,242,946
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 659,239,244,242,946 is 199952559532.
Find LCM of 659,239,244,242,946 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 659, 239, 244, 242, 946 |
| 11 | 659, 239, 122, 121, 473 |
| 659, 239, 122, 11, 43 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 659 x 239 x 122 x 11 x 43 = 199952559532
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 659,239,244,242,946 is 199952559532.
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.
659 x 239 x 244 x 242 x 946 = 8797912619408
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.
659 : 1, 659
239 : 1, 239
244 : 1, 2, 4, 61, 122, 244
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 659,239,244,242,946, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
659:659
239:239
244:2x 2x 61
242:2x 11x 11
946:2x 11x 43
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 11 = 44
Therefore, the value for common factors is 44.
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 = 8797912619408/(1x44)
LCM = 8797912619408/44
LCM = 199952559532
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 659,239,244,242,946 is 199952559532.
