Given numbers are 532,124,260,372,438

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

The LCM of 532,124,260,372,438 is 234763620.

Find LCM of 532,124,260,372,438 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 31 x 133 x 1 x 65 x 1 x 73 = 234763620

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 532,124,260,372,438 is 234763620.

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.

532 x 124 x 260 x 372 x 438 = 2794626132480

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.

532 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 19, 28, 38, 76, 133, 266, 532

124 : 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

372 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 372

438 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 73, 146, 219, 438

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 532,124,260,372,438, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

532:2x 2x 7x 19

124:2x 2x 31

260:2x 2x 5x 13

372:2x 2x 3x 31

438:2x 3x 73

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 2x 2x 2x 3x 31 = 5952

Therefore, the value for common factors is 5952.

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 = 2794626132480/(2x5952)

LCM = 2794626132480/11904

LCM = 234763620

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 532,124,260,372,438 is 234763620.
