Given numbers are 501,840,958,252,262
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 501,840,958,252,262 is 26407289160.
Find LCM of 501,840,958,252,262 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 501, 840, 958, 252, 262 |
| 2 | 501, 420, 479, 126, 131 |
| 3 | 501, 210, 479, 63, 131 |
| 7 | 167, 70, 479, 21, 131 |
| 167, 10, 479, 3, 131 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 167 x 10 x 479 x 3 x 131 = 26407289160
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 501,840,958,252,262 is 26407289160.
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 840 x 958 x 252 x 262 = 26618547473280
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
840 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 42, 56, 60, 70, 84, 105, 120, 140, 168, 210, 280, 420, 840
958 : 1, 2, 479, 958
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
262 : 1, 2, 131, 262
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 501,840,958,252,262, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
501:3x 167
840:2x 2x 2x 3x 5x 7
958:2x 479
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
262:2x 131
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 2x 3x 3x 7 = 1008
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1008.
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 = 26618547473280/(1x1008)
LCM = 26618547473280/1008
LCM = 26407289160
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 501,840,958,252,262 is 26407289160.
