Given numbers are 838,12,501,259
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 838,12,501,259 is 217476084.
Find LCM of 838,12,501,259 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 838, 12, 501, 259 |
| 3 | 419, 6, 501, 259 |
| 419, 2, 167, 259 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 419 x 2 x 167 x 259 = 217476084
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 838,12,501,259 is 217476084.
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.
838 x 12 x 501 x 259 = 1304856504
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.
838 : 1, 2, 419, 838
12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
501 : 1, 3, 167, 501
259 : 1, 7, 37, 259
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 838,12,501,259, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
838:2x 419
12:2x 2x 3
501:3x 167
259:7x 37
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 1304856504/(1x6)
LCM = 1304856504/6
LCM = 217476084
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 838,12,501,259 is 217476084.
