Given numbers are 542,579,616,538,542

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

The LCM of 542,579,616,538,542 is 26000448936.

Find LCM of 542,579,616,538,542 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 271 x 1 x 579 x 308 x 269 x 1 = 26000448936

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,579,616,538,542 is 26000448936.

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 579 x 616 x 538 x 542 = 56368973293248

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

579 : 1, 3, 193, 579

616 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 22, 28, 44, 56, 77, 88, 154, 308, 616

538 : 1, 2, 269, 538

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,579,616,538,542, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

579:3x 193

616:2x 2x 2x 7x 11

538:2x 269

542:2x 271

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 271 = 2168

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2168.

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 = 56368973293248/(1x2168)

LCM = 56368973293248/2168

LCM = 26000448936

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,579,616,538,542 is 26000448936.
