Given numbers are 494,731,318,252
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 494,731,318,252 is 2411519292.
Find LCM of 494,731,318,252 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 494, 731, 318, 252 |
| 3 | 247, 731, 159, 126 |
| 247, 731, 53, 42 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 247 x 731 x 53 x 42 = 2411519292
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 494,731,318,252 is 2411519292.
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.
494 x 731 x 318 x 252 = 28938231504
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.
494 : 1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494
731 : 1, 17, 43, 731
318 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 53, 106, 159, 318
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 494,731,318,252, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
494:2x 13x 19
731:17x 43
318:2x 3x 53
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 28938231504/(1x12)
LCM = 28938231504/12
LCM = 2411519292
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 494,731,318,252 is 2411519292.
