Given numbers are 851,261,514,888
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 851,261,514,888 is 456660216.
Find LCM of 851,261,514,888 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 851, 261, 514, 888 |
| 3 | 851, 261, 257, 444 |
| 37 | 851, 87, 257, 148 |
| 23, 87, 257, 4 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 37 x 23 x 87 x 257 x 4 = 456660216
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 851,261,514,888 is 456660216.
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.
851 x 261 x 514 x 888 = 101378567952
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.
851 : 1, 23, 37, 851
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
514 : 1, 2, 257, 514
888 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, 888
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 851,261,514,888, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
851:23x 37
261:3x 3x 29
514:2x 257
888:2x 2x 2x 3x 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 3x 37 = 222
Therefore, the value for common factors is 222.
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 = 101378567952/(1x222)
LCM = 101378567952/222
LCM = 456660216
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 851,261,514,888 is 456660216.
