Given numbers are 502,278,939,542,174
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 502,278,939,542,174 is 514933798578.
Find LCM of 502,278,939,542,174 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 502, 278, 939, 542, 174 |
| 3 | 251, 139, 939, 271, 87 |
| 251, 139, 313, 271, 29 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 251 x 139 x 313 x 271 x 29 = 514933798578
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 502,278,939,542,174 is 514933798578.
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.
502 x 278 x 939 x 542 x 174 = 12358411165872
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.
502 : 1, 2, 251, 502
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
939 : 1, 3, 313, 939
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
174 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 502,278,939,542,174, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
502:2x 251
278:2x 139
939:3x 313
542:2x 271
174:2x 3x 29
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 3 = 24
Therefore, the value for common factors is 24.
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 = 12358411165872/(1x24)
LCM = 12358411165872/24
LCM = 514933798578
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 502,278,939,542,174 is 514933798578.
