Given numbers are 442,540,508,656

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

The LCM of 442,540,508,656 is 2485613520.

Find LCM of 442,540,508,656 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 221 x 135 x 127 x 164 = 2485613520

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 442,540,508,656 is 2485613520.

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.

442 x 540 x 508 x 656 = 79539632640

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.

442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442

540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540

508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508

656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 442,540,508,656, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

442:2x 13x 17

540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5

508:2x 2x 127

656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 79539632640/(2x16)

LCM = 79539632640/32

LCM = 2485613520

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 442,540,508,656 is 2485613520.
