Given numbers are 555,540,988,842
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 555,540,988,842 is 2077660260.
Find LCM of 555,540,988,842 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 555, 540, 988, 842 |
| 2 | 555, 270, 494, 421 |
| 3 | 555, 135, 247, 421 |
| 5 | 185, 45, 247, 421 |
| 37, 9, 247, 421 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 37 x 9 x 247 x 421 = 2077660260
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 555,540,988,842 is 2077660260.
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.
555 x 540 x 988 x 842 = 249319231200
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.
555 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 37, 111, 185, 555
540 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
842 : 1, 2, 421, 842
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 555,540,988,842, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
555:3x 5x 37
540:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 5
988:2x 2x 13x 19
842:2x 421
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 3x 5 = 120
Therefore, the value for common factors is 120.
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 = 249319231200/(1x120)
LCM = 249319231200/120
LCM = 2077660260
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 555,540,988,842 is 2077660260.
