Given numbers are 531,566,538,236

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

The LCM of 531,566,538,236 is 161693748.

Find LCM of 531,566,538,236 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 9 x 283 x 269 x 2 = 161693748

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 531,566,538,236 is 161693748.

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 566 x 538 x 236 = 38159724528

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

566 : 1, 2, 283, 566

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 531,566,538,236, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

531:3x 3x 59

566:2x 283

538:2x 269

236:2x 2x 59

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 59 = 236

Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.

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 = 38159724528/(1x236)

LCM = 38159724528/236

LCM = 161693748

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 531,566,538,236 is 161693748.
