Given numbers are 254,520,240,442
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 254,520,240,442 is 6736080.
Find LCM of 254,520,240,442 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 254, 520, 240, 442 |
| 2 | 127, 260, 120, 221 |
| 2 | 127, 130, 60, 221 |
| 5 | 127, 65, 30, 221 |
| 13 | 127, 13, 6, 221 |
| 127, 1, 6, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 13 x 127 x 1 x 6 x 17 = 6736080
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 254,520,240,442 is 6736080.
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.
254 x 520 x 240 x 442 = 14011046400
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.
254 : 1, 2, 127, 254
520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 254,520,240,442, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
254:2x 127
520:2x 2x 2x 5x 13
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
442:2x 13x 17
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 5x 13 = 1040
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1040.
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 = 14011046400/(2x1040)
LCM = 14011046400/2080
LCM = 6736080
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 254,520,240,442 is 6736080.
