Given numbers are 501,858,586,242
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 501,858,586,242 is 461810778.
Find LCM of 501,858,586,242 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 501, 858, 586, 242 |
| 3 | 501, 429, 293, 121 |
| 11 | 167, 143, 293, 121 |
| 167, 13, 293, 11 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 11 x 167 x 13 x 293 x 11 = 461810778
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 501,858,586,242 is 461810778.
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 858 x 586 x 242 = 60959022696
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
858 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 13, 22, 26, 33, 39, 66, 78, 143, 286, 429, 858
586 : 1, 2, 293, 586
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 501,858,586,242, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
501:3x 167
858:2x 3x 11x 13
586:2x 293
242:2x 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 11 = 132
Therefore, the value for common factors is 132.
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 = 60959022696/(1x132)
LCM = 60959022696/132
LCM = 461810778
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 501,858,586,242 is 461810778.
