Given numbers are 540,266,140,371
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 540,266,140,371 is 3806460.
Find LCM of 540,266,140,371 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 540, 266, 140, 371 |
| 2 | 270, 133, 70, 371 |
| 5 | 135, 133, 35, 371 |
| 7 | 27, 133, 7, 371 |
| 27, 19, 1, 53 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 27 x 19 x 1 x 53 = 3806460
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 540,266,140,371 is 3806460.
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.
540 x 266 x 140 x 371 = 7460661600
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.
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266
140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140
371 : 1, 7, 53, 371
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 540,266,140,371, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
266:2x 7x 19
140:2x 2x 5x 7
371:7x 53
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 5x 7x 7 = 1960
Therefore, the value for common factors is 1960.
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 = 7460661600/(1x1960)
LCM = 7460661600/1960
LCM = 3806460
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 540,266,140,371 is 3806460.
