Given numbers are 281,204,510,212,538
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 281,204,510,212,538 is 4086341340.
Find LCM of 281,204,510,212,538 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 281, 204, 510, 212, 538 |
| 2 | 281, 102, 255, 106, 269 |
| 3 | 281, 51, 255, 53, 269 |
| 17 | 281, 17, 85, 53, 269 |
| 281, 1, 5, 53, 269 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 17 x 281 x 1 x 5 x 53 x 269 = 4086341340
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 281,204,510,212,538 is 4086341340.
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.
281 x 204 x 510 x 212 x 538 = 3334454533440
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.
281 : 1, 281
204 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 68, 102, 204
510 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 17, 30, 34, 51, 85, 102, 170, 255, 510
212 : 1, 2, 4, 53, 106, 212
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 281,204,510,212,538, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
281:281
204:2x 2x 3x 17
510:2x 3x 5x 17
212:2x 2x 53
538:2x 269
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 3x 17 = 816
Therefore, the value for common factors is 816.
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 = 3334454533440/(1x816)
LCM = 3334454533440/816
LCM = 4086341340
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 281,204,510,212,538 is 4086341340.
