Given numbers are 502,508,188,274

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 502,508,188,274 is 821024012.

Find LCM of 502,508,188,274 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 2 x 251 x 127 x 47 x 137 = 821024012

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 502,508,188,274 is 821024012.

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 508 x 188 x 274 = 13136384192

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

508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508

188 : 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188

274 : 1, 2, 137, 274

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 502,508,188,274, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

502:2x 251

508:2x 2x 127

188:2x 2x 47

274:2x 137

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 2 = 8

Therefore, the value for common factors is 8.

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 = 13136384192/(2x8)

LCM = 13136384192/16

LCM = 821024012

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 502,508,188,274 is 821024012.
