Given numbers are 488,542,746,549

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

The LCM of 488,542,746,549 is 443956536.

Find LCM of 488,542,746,549 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 61 x 4 x 271 x 373 x 9 = 443956536

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 488,542,746,549 is 443956536.

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.

488 x 542 x 746 x 549 = 108325394784

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.

488 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 122, 244, 488

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

746 : 1, 2, 373, 746

549 : 1, 3, 9, 61, 183, 549

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 488,542,746,549, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

488:2x 2x 2x 61

542:2x 271

746:2x 373

549:3x 3x 61

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 61 = 244

Therefore, the value for common factors is 244.

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 = 108325394784/(1x244)

LCM = 108325394784/244

LCM = 443956536

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 488,542,746,549 is 443956536.
