Given numbers are 542,782,272,137,124

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

The LCM of 542,782,272,137,124 is 7200261872.

Find LCM of 542,782,272,137,124 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 17 x 271 x 23 x 4 x 137 x 31 = 7200261872

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 542,782,272,137,124 is 7200261872.

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 782 x 272 x 137 x 124 = 1958471229184

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

782 : 1, 2, 17, 23, 34, 46, 391, 782

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

137 : 1, 137

124 : 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 542,782,272,137,124, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

542:2x 271

782:2x 17x 23

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

137:137

124:2x 2x 31

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 17 = 272

Therefore, the value for common factors is 272.

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 = 1958471229184/(1x272)

LCM = 1958471229184/272

LCM = 7200261872

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 542,782,272,137,124 is 7200261872.
