Given numbers are 659,856,998,659
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 659,856,998,659 is 281487896.
Find LCM of 659,856,998,659 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 659, 856, 998, 659 |
| 659 | 659, 428, 499, 659 |
| 1, 428, 499, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 659 x 1 x 428 x 499 x 1 = 281487896
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 659,856,998,659 is 281487896.
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 856 x 998 x 659 = 371001046928
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
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
998 : 1, 2, 499, 998
659 : 1, 659
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 659,856,998,659, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
659:659
856:2x 2x 2x 107
998:2x 499
659:659
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 659 = 1318
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1318.
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 = 371001046928/(1x1318)
LCM = 371001046928/1318
LCM = 281487896
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 659,856,998,659 is 281487896.
