Given numbers are 659,316,432,987
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 659,316,432,987 is 7399325808.
Find LCM of 659,316,432,987 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 659, 316, 432, 987 |
| 2 | 659, 158, 216, 987 |
| 3 | 659, 79, 108, 987 |
| 659, 79, 36, 329 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 659 x 79 x 36 x 329 = 7399325808
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 659,316,432,987 is 7399325808.
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 316 x 432 x 987 = 88791909696
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
316 : 1, 2, 4, 79, 158, 316
432 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 27, 36, 48, 54, 72, 108, 144, 216, 432
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 659,316,432,987, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
659:659
316:2x 2x 79
432:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 3
987:3x 7x 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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 88791909696/(1x12)
LCM = 88791909696/12
LCM = 7399325808
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 659,316,432,987 is 7399325808.
