Given numbers are 277,159,261,242,549
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 277,159,261,242,549 is 56564160642.
Find LCM of 277,159,261,242,549 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 277, 159, 261, 242, 549 |
| 3 | 277, 53, 87, 242, 183 |
| 277, 53, 29, 242, 61 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 3 x 277 x 53 x 29 x 242 x 61 = 56564160642
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 277,159,261,242,549 is 56564160642.
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.
277 x 159 x 261 x 242 x 549 = 1527232337334
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.
277 : 1, 277
159 : 1, 3, 53, 159
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
549 : 1, 3, 9, 61, 183, 549
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 277,159,261,242,549, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
277:277
159:3x 53
261:3x 3x 29
242:2x 11x 11
549:3x 3x 61
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3x 3 = 27
Therefore, the value for common factors is 27.
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 = 1527232337334/(1x27)
LCM = 1527232337334/27
LCM = 56564160642
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 277,159,261,242,549 is 56564160642.
