Given numbers are 369,542,251,138,856
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 369,542,251,138,856 is 494163858312.
Find LCM of 369,542,251,138,856 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 369, 542, 251, 138, 856 |
| 3 | 369, 271, 251, 69, 428 |
| 123, 271, 251, 23, 428 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 123 x 271 x 251 x 23 x 428 = 494163858312
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 369,542,251,138,856 is 494163858312.
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.
369 x 542 x 251 x 138 x 856 = 5929966299744
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.
369 : 1, 3, 9, 41, 123, 369
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
251 : 1, 251
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
856 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 107, 214, 428, 856
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 369,542,251,138,856, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
369:3x 3x 41
542:2x 271
251:251
138:2x 3x 23
856:2x 2x 2x 107
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 = 5929966299744/(1x12)
LCM = 5929966299744/12
LCM = 494163858312
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 369,542,251,138,856 is 494163858312.
