Given numbers are 498,144,537,179,429
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 498,144,537,179,429 is 305935344.
Find LCM of 498,144,537,179,429 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 498, 144, 537, 179, 429 |
| 3 | 249, 72, 537, 179, 429 |
| 179 | 83, 24, 179, 179, 143 |
| 83, 24, 1, 1, 143 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 179 x 83 x 24 x 1 x 1 x 143 = 305935344
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 498,144,537,179,429 is 305935344.
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.
498 x 144 x 537 x 179 x 429 = 2957171035104
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.
498 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 83, 166, 249, 498
144 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 144
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
179 : 1, 179
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 498,144,537,179,429, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
498:2x 3x 83
144:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 3
537:3x 179
179:179
429:3x 11x 13
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 3x 3x 179 = 9666
Therefore, the value for common factors is 9666.
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 = 2957171035104/(1x9666)
LCM = 2957171035104/9666
LCM = 305935344
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 498,144,537,179,429 is 305935344.
