Given numbers are 537,429,342,494
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 537,429,342,494 is 8754174.
Find LCM of 537,429,342,494 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 537, 429, 342, 494 |
| 3 | 537, 429, 171, 247 |
| 13 | 179, 143, 57, 247 |
| 19 | 179, 11, 57, 19 |
| 179, 11, 3, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 13 x 19 x 179 x 11 x 3 x 1 = 8754174
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 537,429,342,494 is 8754174.
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.
537 x 429 x 342 x 494 = 38921057604
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.
537 : 1, 3, 179, 537
429 : 1, 3, 11, 13, 33, 39, 143, 429
342 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 19, 38, 57, 114, 171, 342
494 : 1, 2, 13, 19, 26, 38, 247, 494
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 537,429,342,494, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
537:3x 179
429:3x 11x 13
342:2x 3x 3x 19
494:2x 13x 19
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 3x 13x 19 = 4446
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4446.
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 = 38921057604/(1x4446)
LCM = 38921057604/4446
LCM = 8754174
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 537,429,342,494 is 8754174.
