Given numbers are 502,542,237,865
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 502,542,237,865 is 27889290210.
Find LCM of 502,542,237,865 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 502, 542, 237, 865 |
| 251, 271, 237, 865 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 251 x 271 x 237 x 865 = 27889290210
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 502,542,237,865 is 27889290210.
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 542 x 237 x 865 = 55778580420
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
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
237 : 1, 3, 79, 237
865 : 1, 5, 173, 865
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 502,542,237,865, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
502:2x 251
542:2x 271
237:3x 79
865:5x 173
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 55778580420/(1x2)
LCM = 55778580420/2
LCM = 27889290210
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 502,542,237,865 is 27889290210.
