Given numbers are 122,470,500,240
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 122,470,500,240 is 17202000.
Find LCM of 122,470,500,240 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 122, 470, 500, 240 |
| 2 | 61, 235, 250, 120 |
| 5 | 61, 235, 125, 60 |
| 61, 47, 25, 12 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 61 x 47 x 25 x 12 = 17202000
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 122,470,500,240 is 17202000.
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.
122 x 470 x 500 x 240 = 6880800000
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.
122 : 1, 2, 61, 122
470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470
500 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 122,470,500,240, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
122:2x 61
470:2x 5x 47
500:2x 2x 5x 5x 5
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
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 5x 5 = 200
Therefore, the value for common factors is 200.
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 = 6880800000/(2x200)
LCM = 6880800000/400
LCM = 17202000
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 122,470,500,240 is 17202000.
