Given numbers are 71,17,29,87,596

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

The LCM of 71,17,29,87,596 is 62585364.

Find LCM of 71,17,29,87,596 with Prime Factorization

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

29 x 71 x 17 x 1 x 3 x 596 = 62585364

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 71,17,29,87,596 is 62585364.

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.

71 x 17 x 29 x 87 x 596 = 1814975556

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.

71 : 1, 71

17 : 1, 17

29 : 1, 29

87 : 1, 3, 29, 87

596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 71,17,29,87,596, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

71:71

17:17

29:29

87:3x 29

596:2x 2x 149

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

29 = 29

Therefore, the value for common factors is 29.

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 = 1814975556/(1x29)

LCM = 1814975556/29

LCM = 62585364

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 71,17,29,87,596 is 62585364.
