Given numbers are 659,742,420,557
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 659,742,420,557 is 8170822380.
Find LCM of 659,742,420,557 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 659, 742, 420, 557 |
| 7 | 659, 371, 210, 557 |
| 659, 53, 30, 557 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 659 x 53 x 30 x 557 = 8170822380
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 659,742,420,557 is 8170822380.
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 742 x 420 x 557 = 114391513320
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
742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
557 : 1, 557
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 659,742,420,557, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
659:659
742:2x 7x 53
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
557:557
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 7 = 14
Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.
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 = 114391513320/(1x14)
LCM = 114391513320/14
LCM = 8170822380
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 659,742,420,557 is 8170822380.
