Given numbers are 950,986,580,279
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 950,986,580,279 is 261339300.
Find LCM of 950,986,580,279 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 950, 986, 580, 279 |
| 5 | 475, 493, 290, 279 |
| 29 | 95, 493, 58, 279 |
| 95, 17, 2, 279 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 29 x 95 x 17 x 2 x 279 = 261339300
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 950,986,580,279 is 261339300.
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.
950 x 986 x 580 x 279 = 151576794000
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.
950 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 19, 25, 38, 50, 95, 190, 475, 950
986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986
580 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 29, 58, 116, 145, 290, 580
279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 950,986,580,279, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
950:2x 5x 5x 19
986:2x 17x 29
580:2x 2x 5x 29
279:3x 3x 31
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 5x 29 = 580
Therefore, the value for common factors is 580.
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 = 151576794000/(1x580)
LCM = 151576794000/580
LCM = 261339300
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 950,986,580,279 is 261339300.
