Given numbers are 550,450,542,725,520

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

The LCM of 550,450,542,725,520 is 2022906600.

Find LCM of 550,450,542,725,520 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 5 x 5 x 11 x 9 x 271 x 29 x 52 = 2022906600

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 550,450,542,725,520 is 2022906600.

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.

550 x 450 x 542 x 725 x 520 = 50572665000000

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.

550 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 50, 55, 110, 275, 550

450 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 150, 225, 450

542 : 1, 2, 271, 542

725 : 1, 5, 25, 29, 145, 725

520 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 20, 26, 40, 52, 65, 104, 130, 260, 520

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 550,450,542,725,520, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

550:2x 5x 5x 11

450:2x 3x 3x 5x 5

542:2x 271

725:5x 5x 29

520:2x 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 5x 5x 5x 5x 5 = 25000

Therefore, the value for common factors is 25000.

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 = 50572665000000/(1x25000)

LCM = 50572665000000/25000

LCM = 2022906600

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 550,450,542,725,520 is 2022906600.
