Given numbers are 118,420,503,542,132
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 118,420,503,542,132 is 37156197540.
Find LCM of 118,420,503,542,132 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 118, 420, 503, 542, 132 |
| 2 | 59, 210, 503, 271, 66 |
| 3 | 59, 105, 503, 271, 33 |
| 59, 35, 503, 271, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 59 x 35 x 503 x 271 x 11 = 37156197540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 118,420,503,542,132 is 37156197540.
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.
118 x 420 x 503 x 542 x 132 = 1783497481920
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.
118 : 1, 2, 59, 118
420 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 28, 30, 35, 42, 60, 70, 84, 105, 140, 210, 420
503 : 1, 503
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
132 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 118,420,503,542,132, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
118:2x 59
420:2x 2x 3x 5x 7
503:503
542:2x 271
132:2x 2x 3x 11
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 2x 3 = 48
Therefore, the value for common factors is 48.
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 = 1783497481920/(1x48)
LCM = 1783497481920/48
LCM = 37156197540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 118,420,503,542,132 is 37156197540.
