Given numbers are 552,232,688,422

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

The LCM of 552,232,688,422 is 290481168.

Find LCM of 552,232,688,422 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 69 x 29 x 86 x 211 = 290481168

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 552,232,688,422 is 290481168.

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.

552 x 232 x 688 x 422 = 37181589504

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.

552 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24, 46, 69, 92, 138, 184, 276, 552

232 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 552,232,688,422, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

552:2x 2x 2x 3x 23

232:2x 2x 2x 29

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

422:2x 211

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 2x 2 = 64

Therefore, the value for common factors is 64.

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 = 37181589504/(2x64)

LCM = 37181589504/128

LCM = 290481168

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 552,232,688,422 is 290481168.
