Given numbers are 508,460,138,174
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 508,460,138,174 is 5082540.
Find LCM of 508,460,138,174 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 508, 460, 138, 174 |
| 2 | 254, 230, 69, 87 |
| 3 | 127, 115, 69, 87 |
| 23 | 127, 115, 23, 29 |
| 127, 5, 1, 29 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 23 x 127 x 5 x 1 x 29 = 5082540
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 508,460,138,174 is 5082540.
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.
508 x 460 x 138 x 174 = 5611124160
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.
508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508
460 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 23, 46, 92, 115, 230, 460
138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138
174 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 508,460,138,174, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
508:2x 2x 127
460:2x 2x 5x 23
138:2x 3x 23
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 3x 23 = 552
Therefore, the value for common factors is 552.
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 = 5611124160/(2x552)
LCM = 5611124160/1104
LCM = 5082540
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 508,460,138,174 is 5082540.
