Given numbers are 501,956,942,505
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 501,956,942,505 is 37974026460.
Find LCM of 501,956,942,505 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 501, 956, 942, 505 |
| 3 | 501, 478, 471, 505 |
| 167, 478, 157, 505 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 167 x 478 x 157 x 505 = 37974026460
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 501,956,942,505 is 37974026460.
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 956 x 942 x 505 = 227844158760
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
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
942 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 157, 314, 471, 942
505 : 1, 5, 101, 505
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 501,956,942,505, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
501:3x 167
956:2x 2x 239
942:2x 3x 157
505:5x 101
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3 = 6
Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.
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 = 227844158760/(1x6)
LCM = 227844158760/6
LCM = 37974026460
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 501,956,942,505 is 37974026460.
