Given numbers are 252,538,978,839
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 252,538,978,839 is 9270483516.
Find LCM of 252,538,978,839 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 252, 538, 978, 839 |
| 3 | 126, 269, 489, 839 |
| 42, 269, 163, 839 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 42 x 269 x 163 x 839 = 9270483516
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 252,538,978,839 is 9270483516.
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.
252 x 538 x 978 x 839 = 111245802192
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.
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978
839 : 1, 839
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 252,538,978,839, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
538:2x 269
978:2x 3x 163
839:839
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 111245802192/(1x12)
LCM = 111245802192/12
LCM = 9270483516
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 252,538,978,839 is 9270483516.
