Given numbers are 492,537,860,522
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 492,537,860,522 is 1647311940.
Find LCM of 492,537,860,522 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 492, 537, 860, 522 |
| 2 | 246, 537, 430, 261 |
| 3 | 123, 537, 215, 261 |
| 41, 179, 215, 87 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 179 x 215 x 87 = 1647311940
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 492,537,860,522 is 1647311940.
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.
492 x 537 x 860 x 522 = 118606459680
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.
492 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 492
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860
522 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 29, 58, 87, 174, 261, 522
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 492,537,860,522, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
492:2x 2x 3x 41
537:3x 179
860:2x 2x 5x 43
522:2x 3x 3x 29
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 3x 3 = 72
Therefore, the value for common factors is 72.
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 = 118606459680/(1x72)
LCM = 118606459680/72
LCM = 1647311940
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 492,537,860,522 is 1647311940.
