Given numbers are 516,253,331,742

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

The LCM of 516,253,331,742 is 16031424948.

Find LCM of 516,253,331,742 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 258 x 253 x 331 x 371 = 16031424948

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 516,253,331,742 is 16031424948.

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.

516 x 253 x 331 x 742 = 32062849896

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.

516 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 43, 86, 129, 172, 258, 516

253 : 1, 11, 23, 253

331 : 1, 331

742 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 53, 106, 371, 742

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 516,253,331,742, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

516:2x 2x 3x 43

253:11x 23

331:331

742:2x 7x 53

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 = 32062849896/(1x2)

LCM = 32062849896/2

LCM = 16031424948

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 516,253,331,742 is 16031424948.
