Given numbers are 542,160,155,229
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 542,160,155,229 is 307812640.
Find LCM of 542,160,155,229 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 542, 160, 155, 229 |
| 5 | 271, 80, 155, 229 |
| 271, 16, 31, 229 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 271 x 16 x 31 x 229 = 307812640
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,160,155,229 is 307812640.
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.
542 x 160 x 155 x 229 = 3078126400
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.
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
160 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160
155 : 1, 5, 31, 155
229 : 1, 229
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,160,155,229, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
542:2x 271
160:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 5
155:5x 31
229:229
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 5 = 10
Therefore, the value for common factors is 10.
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 = 3078126400/(1x10)
LCM = 3078126400/10
LCM = 307812640
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,160,155,229 is 307812640.
