Given numbers are 400,400,538,588
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 400,400,538,588 is 15817200.
Find LCM of 400,400,538,588 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 400, 400, 538, 588 |
| 2 | 200, 200, 269, 294 |
| 2 | 100, 100, 269, 147 |
| 2 | 50, 50, 269, 147 |
| 5 | 25, 25, 269, 147 |
| 5 | 5, 5, 269, 147 |
| 1, 1, 269, 147 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 269 x 147 = 15817200
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 400,400,538,588 is 15817200.
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.
400 x 400 x 538 x 588 = 50615040000
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.
400 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400
400 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
588 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 49, 84, 98, 147, 196, 294, 588
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 400,400,538,588, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
400:2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 5
400:2x 2x 2x 2x 5x 5
538:2x 269
588:2x 2x 3x 7x 7
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 2x 2x 5x 5 = 1600
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1600.
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 = 50615040000/(2x1600)
LCM = 50615040000/3200
LCM = 15817200
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 400,400,538,588 is 15817200.
