Given numbers are 501,668,261,336,605
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 501,668,261,336,605 is 2953455120.
Find LCM of 501,668,261,336,605 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 501, 668, 261, 336, 605 |
| 2 | 501, 334, 261, 168, 605 |
| 3 | 501, 167, 261, 84, 605 |
| 167 | 167, 167, 87, 28, 605 |
| 1, 1, 87, 28, 605 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 167 x 1 x 1 x 87 x 28 x 605 = 2953455120
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 501,668,261,336,605 is 2953455120.
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 668 x 261 x 336 x 605 = 17756172181440
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
668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
336 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 56, 84, 112, 168, 336
605 : 1, 5, 11, 55, 121, 605
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 501,668,261,336,605, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
501:3x 167
668:2x 2x 167
261:3x 3x 29
336:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 7
605:5x 11x 11
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 167 = 6012
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6012.
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 = 17756172181440/(1x6012)
LCM = 17756172181440/6012
LCM = 2953455120
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 501,668,261,336,605 is 2953455120.
