Given numbers are 538,278,959,283
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 538,278,959,283 is 20295610454.
Find LCM of 538,278,959,283 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 538, 278, 959, 283 |
| 269, 139, 959, 283 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 269 x 139 x 959 x 283 = 20295610454
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 538,278,959,283 is 20295610454.
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.
538 x 278 x 959 x 283 = 40591220908
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.
538 : 1, 2, 269, 538
278 : 1, 2, 139, 278
959 : 1, 7, 137, 959
283 : 1, 283
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 538,278,959,283, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
538:2x 269
278:2x 139
959:7x 137
283:283
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 40591220908/(1x2)
LCM = 40591220908/2
LCM = 20295610454
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 538,278,959,283 is 20295610454.
