Given numbers are 542,270,168,258,468

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

The LCM of 542,270,168,258,468 is 1145256840.

Find LCM of 542,270,168,258,468 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 271 x 15 x 14 x 43 x 13 = 1145256840

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,270,168,258,468 is 1145256840.

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 270 x 168 x 258 x 468 = 2968505729280

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

270 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 27, 30, 45, 54, 90, 135, 270

168 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168

258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258

468 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 18, 26, 36, 39, 52, 78, 117, 156, 234, 468

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,270,168,258,468, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

270:2x 3x 3x 3x 5

168:2x 2x 2x 3x 7

258:2x 3x 43

468:2x 2x 3x 3x 13

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 2x 3x 3x 3x 3 = 1296

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1296.

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 = 2968505729280/(2x1296)

LCM = 2968505729280/2592

LCM = 1145256840

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,270,168,258,468 is 1145256840.
