Given numbers are 531,391,966,502
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 531,391,966,502 is 729580194.
Find LCM of 531,391,966,502 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 531, 391, 966, 502 |
| 3 | 531, 391, 483, 251 |
| 23 | 177, 391, 161, 251 |
| 177, 17, 7, 251 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 23 x 177 x 17 x 7 x 251 = 729580194
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 531,391,966,502 is 729580194.
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.
531 x 391 x 966 x 502 = 100682066772
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.
531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
391 : 1, 17, 23, 391
966 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 23, 42, 46, 69, 138, 161, 322, 483, 966
502 : 1, 2, 251, 502
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 531,391,966,502, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
531:3x 3x 59
391:17x 23
966:2x 3x 7x 23
502:2x 251
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 3x 23 = 138
Therefore, the value for common factors is 138.
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 = 100682066772/(1x138)
LCM = 100682066772/138
LCM = 729580194
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 531,391,966,502 is 729580194.
