Given numbers are 138,516,520,962
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 138,516,520,962 is 57085080.
Find LCM of 138,516,520,962 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 138, 516, 520, 962 |
| 2 | 69, 258, 260, 481 |
| 3 | 69, 129, 130, 481 |
| 13 | 23, 43, 130, 481 |
| 23, 43, 10, 37 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 23 x 43 x 10 x 37 = 57085080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 138,516,520,962 is 57085080.
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.
138 x 516 x 520 x 962 = 35621089920
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.
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
516 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 43, 86, 129, 172, 258, 516
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 138,516,520,962, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
138:2x 3x 23
516:2x 2x 3x 43
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
962:2x 13x 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 2x 3x 13 = 312
Therefore, the value for common factors is 312.
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 = 35621089920/(2x312)
LCM = 35621089920/624
LCM = 57085080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 138,516,520,962 is 57085080.
