Given numbers are 547,972,148,260

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

The LCM of 547,972,148,260 is 1278700020.

Find LCM of 547,972,148,260 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 547 x 243 x 37 x 65 = 1278700020

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 547,972,148,260 is 1278700020.

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.

547 x 972 x 148 x 260 = 20459200320

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.

547 : 1, 547

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

148 : 1, 2, 4, 37, 74, 148

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 547,972,148,260, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

547:547

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

148:2x 2x 37

260:2x 2x 5x 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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 20459200320/(1x16)

LCM = 20459200320/16

LCM = 1278700020

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 547,972,148,260 is 1278700020.
