Given numbers are 538,725,470,174
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 538,725,470,174 is 54997050.
Find LCM of 538,725,470,174 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 538, 725, 470, 174 |
| 5 | 269, 725, 235, 87 |
| 29 | 269, 145, 47, 87 |
| 269, 5, 47, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 29 x 269 x 5 x 47 x 3 = 54997050
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 538,725,470,174 is 54997050.
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 725 x 470 x 174 = 31898289000
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
725 : 1, 5, 25, 29, 145, 725
470 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 47, 94, 235, 470
174 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 538,725,470,174, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
538:2x 269
725:5x 5x 29
470:2x 5x 47
174:2x 3x 29
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 5x 29 = 580
Therefore, the value for common factors is 580.
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 = 31898289000/(1x580)
LCM = 31898289000/580
LCM = 54997050
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 538,725,470,174 is 54997050.
