Given numbers are 542,173,562,843,461

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 542,173,562,843,461 is 36439624218.

Find LCM of 542,173,562,843,461 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 281 x 271 x 173 x 1 x 3 x 461 = 36439624218

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,173,562,843,461 is 36439624218.

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 173 x 562 x 843 x 461 = 20479068810516

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

173 : 1, 173

562 : 1, 2, 281, 562

843 : 1, 3, 281, 843

461 : 1, 461

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,173,562,843,461, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

173:173

562:2x 281

843:3x 281

461:461

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 281 = 562

Therefore, the value for common factors is 562.

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 = 20479068810516/(1x562)

LCM = 20479068810516/562

LCM = 36439624218

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,173,562,843,461 is 36439624218.
