Given numbers are 987,491,255,197,257
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 987,491,255,197,257 is 2085532297905.
Find LCM of 987,491,255,197,257 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 987, 491, 255, 197, 257 |
| 329, 491, 85, 197, 257 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 329 x 491 x 85 x 197 x 257 = 2085532297905
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 987,491,255,197,257 is 2085532297905.
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.
987 x 491 x 255 x 197 x 257 = 6256596893715
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.
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
491 : 1, 491
255 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
197 : 1, 197
257 : 1, 257
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 987,491,255,197,257, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
987:3x 7x 47
491:491
255:3x 5x 17
197:197
257:257
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3 = 3
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3.
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 = 6256596893715/(1x3)
LCM = 6256596893715/3
LCM = 2085532297905
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 987,491,255,197,257 is 2085532297905.
