Given numbers are 501,258,540,470
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 501,258,540,470 is 182253780.
Find LCM of 501,258,540,470 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 501, 258, 540, 470 |
| 3 | 501, 129, 270, 235 |
| 5 | 167, 43, 90, 235 |
| 167, 43, 18, 47 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 5 x 167 x 43 x 18 x 47 = 182253780
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 501,258,540,470 is 182253780.
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.
501 x 258 x 540 x 470 = 32805680400
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.
501 : 1, 3, 167, 501
258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 501,258,540,470, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
501:3x 167
258:2x 3x 43
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
470:2x 5x 47
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 3x 3x 5 = 180
Therefore, the value for common factors is 180.
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 = 32805680400/(1x180)
LCM = 32805680400/180
LCM = 182253780
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 501,258,540,470 is 182253780.
