Given numbers are 659,424,868,159
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 659,424,868,159 is 181899816.
Find LCM of 659,424,868,159 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 659, 424, 868, 159 |
| 2 | 659, 212, 434, 159 |
| 53 | 659, 106, 217, 159 |
| 659, 2, 217, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 53 x 659 x 2 x 217 x 3 = 181899816
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 659,424,868,159 is 181899816.
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 424 x 868 x 159 = 38562760992
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
424 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424
868 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 31, 62, 124, 217, 434, 868
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 659,424,868,159, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
659:659
424:2x 2x 2x 53
868:2x 2x 7x 31
159:3x 53
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 53 = 212
Therefore, the value for common factors is 212.
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 = 38562760992/(1x212)
LCM = 38562760992/212
LCM = 181899816
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 659,424,868,159 is 181899816.
