Given numbers are 531,960,851,548
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 531,960,851,548 is 19810463040.
Find LCM of 531,960,851,548 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 531, 960, 851, 548 |
| 2 | 531, 480, 851, 274 |
| 3 | 531, 240, 851, 137 |
| 177, 80, 851, 137 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 177 x 80 x 851 x 137 = 19810463040
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 531,960,851,548 is 19810463040.
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 960 x 851 x 548 = 237725556480
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
960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960
851 : 1, 23, 37, 851
548 : 1, 2, 4, 137, 274, 548
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 531,960,851,548, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
531:3x 3x 59
960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
851:23x 37
548:2x 2x 137
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 237725556480/(1x12)
LCM = 237725556480/12
LCM = 19810463040
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 531,960,851,548 is 19810463040.
