Given numbers are 888,556,518,251
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 888,556,518,251 is 216870024.
Find LCM of 888,556,518,251 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 888, 556, 518, 251 |
| 2 | 444, 278, 259, 251 |
| 37 | 222, 139, 259, 251 |
| 6, 139, 7, 251 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 37 x 6 x 139 x 7 x 251 = 216870024
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 888,556,518,251 is 216870024.
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.
888 x 556 x 518 x 251 = 64193527104
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.
888 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, 444, 888
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
518 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 37, 74, 259, 518
251 : 1, 251
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 888,556,518,251, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
888:2x 2x 2x 3x 37
556:2x 2x 139
518:2x 7x 37
251:251
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 2x 37 = 296
Therefore, the value for common factors is 296.
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 = 64193527104/(1x296)
LCM = 64193527104/296
LCM = 216870024
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 888,556,518,251 is 216870024.
