Given numbers are 985,148,452,259
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 985,148,452,259 is 115311980.
Find LCM of 985,148,452,259 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 985, 148, 452, 259 |
| 2 | 985, 74, 226, 259 |
| 37 | 985, 37, 113, 259 |
| 985, 1, 113, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 37 x 985 x 1 x 113 x 7 = 115311980
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 985,148,452,259 is 115311980.
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.
985 x 148 x 452 x 259 = 17066173040
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.
985 : 1, 5, 197, 985
148 : 1, 2, 4, 37, 74, 148
452 : 1, 2, 4, 113, 226, 452
259 : 1, 7, 37, 259
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 985,148,452,259, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
985:5x 197
148:2x 2x 37
452:2x 2x 113
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 2x 37 = 148
Therefore, the value for common factors is 148.
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 = 17066173040/(1x148)
LCM = 17066173040/148
LCM = 115311980
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 985,148,452,259 is 115311980.
