Given numbers are 538,644,556,943
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 538,644,556,943 is 987271964.
Find LCM of 538,644,556,943 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 538, 644, 556, 943 |
| 2 | 269, 322, 278, 943 |
| 23 | 269, 161, 139, 943 |
| 269, 7, 139, 41 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 23 x 269 x 7 x 139 x 41 = 987271964
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 538,644,556,943 is 987271964.
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 644 x 556 x 943 = 181658041376
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
644 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 23, 28, 46, 92, 161, 322, 644
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
943 : 1, 23, 41, 943
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 538,644,556,943, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
538:2x 269
644:2x 2x 7x 23
556:2x 2x 139
943:23x 41
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 23 = 184
Therefore, the value for common factors is 184.
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 = 181658041376/(1x184)
LCM = 181658041376/184
LCM = 987271964
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 538,644,556,943 is 987271964.
