Given numbers are 282,845,406,372,502

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 282,845,406,372,502 is 752778602940.

Find LCM of 282,845,406,372,502 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 3 x 47 x 845 x 203 x 62 x 251 = 752778602940

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 282,845,406,372,502 is 752778602940.

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.

282 x 845 x 406 x 372 x 502 = 18066686470560

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.

282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282

845 : 1, 5, 13, 65, 169, 845

406 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 29, 58, 203, 406

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

502 : 1, 2, 251, 502

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 282,845,406,372,502, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

282:2x 3x 47

845:5x 13x 13

406:2x 7x 29

372:2x 2x 3x 31

502:2x 251

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 3 = 24

Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.

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 = 18066686470560/(1x24)

LCM = 18066686470560/24

LCM = 752778602940

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 282,845,406,372,502 is 752778602940.
