Given numbers are 551,408,596,252
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 551,408,596,252 is 703424232.
Find LCM of 551,408,596,252 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 551, 408, 596, 252 |
| 2 | 551, 204, 298, 126 |
| 3 | 551, 102, 149, 63 |
| 551, 34, 149, 21 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 551 x 34 x 149 x 21 = 703424232
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 551,408,596,252 is 703424232.
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.
551 x 408 x 596 x 252 = 33764363136
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.
551 : 1, 19, 29, 551
408 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 17, 24, 34, 51, 68, 102, 136, 204, 408
596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596
252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 551,408,596,252, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
551:19x 29
408:2x 2x 2x 3x 17
596:2x 2x 149
252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7
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 3 = 48
Therefore, the value for common factors is 48.
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 = 33764363136/(1x48)
LCM = 33764363136/48
LCM = 703424232
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 551,408,596,252 is 703424232.
