Given numbers are 502,681,272,156,860

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

The LCM of 502,681,272,156,860 is 129948583440.

Find LCM of 502,681,272,156,860 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 251 x 227 x 68 x 13 x 215 = 129948583440

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 502,681,272,156,860 is 129948583440.

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 681 x 272 x 156 x 860 = 12475064010240

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

681 : 1, 3, 227, 681

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

156 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156

860 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 502,681,272,156,860, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

502:2x 251

681:3x 227

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

156:2x 2x 3x 13

860:2x 2x 5x 43

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 2x 2x 3 = 96

Therefore, the value for common factors is 96.

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 = 12475064010240/(1x96)

LCM = 12475064010240/96

LCM = 129948583440

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 502,681,272,156,860 is 129948583440.
