Given numbers are 502,548,959,291

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

The LCM of 502,548,959,291 is 280185276.

Find LCM of 502,548,959,291 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 137 x 251 x 2 x 7 x 291 = 280185276

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 502,548,959,291 is 280185276.

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 548 x 959 x 291 = 76770765624

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

548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548

959 : 1, 7, 137, 959

291 : 1, 3, 97, 291

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 502,548,959,291, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

502:2x 251

548:2x 2x 137

959:7x 137

291:3x 97

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 137 = 274

Therefore, the value for common factors is 274.

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 = 76770765624/(1x274)

LCM = 76770765624/274

LCM = 280185276

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 502,548,959,291 is 280185276.
