Given numbers are 556,246,280,132,973
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 556,246,280,132,973 is 52658760.
Find LCM of 556,246,280,132,973 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 556, 246, 280, 132, 973 |
| 2 | 278, 123, 140, 66, 973 |
| 3 | 139, 123, 70, 33, 973 |
| 7 | 139, 41, 70, 11, 973 |
| 139 | 139, 41, 10, 11, 139 |
| 1, 41, 10, 11, 1 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 139 x 1 x 41 x 10 x 11 x 1 = 52658760
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 556,246,280,132,973 is 52658760.
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.
556 x 246 x 280 x 132 x 973 = 4918749454080
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.
556 : 1, 2, 4, 139, 278, 556
246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246
280 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
132 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 22, 33, 44, 66, 132
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 556,246,280,132,973, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
556:2x 2x 139
246:2x 3x 41
280:2x 2x 2x 5x 7
132:2x 2x 3x 11
973:7x 139
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 3x 7x 139 = 93408
Therefore, the value for common factors is 93408.
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 = 4918749454080/(1x93408)
LCM = 4918749454080/93408
LCM = 52658760
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 556,246,280,132,973 is 52658760.
