Given numbers are 659,969,972,518,234

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 659,969,972,518,234 is 696622212468.

Find LCM of 659,969,972,518,234 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 3 x 3 x 659 x 323 x 54 x 259 x 13 = 696622212468

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 659,969,972,518,234 is 696622212468.

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 969 x 972 x 518 x 234 = 75235198946544

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

969 : 1, 3, 17, 19, 51, 57, 323, 969

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518

234 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 39, 78, 117, 234

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 659,969,972,518,234, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

659:659

969:3x 17x 19

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

518:2x 7x 37

234:2x 3x 3x 13

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 3x 3x 3 = 108

Therefore, the value for common factors is 108.

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 = 75235198946544/(1x108)

LCM = 75235198946544/108

LCM = 696622212468

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 659,969,972,518,234 is 696622212468.
