Given numbers are 482,132,172,262

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

The LCM of 482,132,172,262 is 179196996.

Find LCM of 482,132,172,262 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 241 x 33 x 43 x 131 = 179196996

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 482,132,172,262 is 179196996.

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.

482 x 132 x 172 x 262 = 2867151936

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.

482 : 1, 2, 241, 482

132 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132

172 : 1, 2, 4, 43, 86, 172

262 : 1, 2, 131, 262

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 482,132,172,262, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

482:2x 241

132:2x 2x 3x 11

172:2x 2x 43

262:2x 131

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 2867151936/(2x8)

LCM = 2867151936/16

LCM = 179196996

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 482,132,172,262 is 179196996.
