Given numbers are 556,554,956,264,493
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 556,554,956,264,493 is 1197686946984.
Find LCM of 556,554,956,264,493 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 556, 554, 956, 264, 493 |
| 2 | 278, 277, 478, 132, 493 |
| 139, 277, 239, 66, 493 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 139 x 277 x 239 x 66 x 493 = 1197686946984
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 556,554,956,264,493 is 1197686946984.
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 554 x 956 x 264 x 493 = 38325982303488
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
554 : 1, 2, 277, 554
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
264 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264
493 : 1, 17, 29, 493
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 556,554,956,264,493, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
556:2x 2x 139
554:2x 277
956:2x 2x 239
264:2x 2x 2x 3x 11
493:17x 29
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 2 = 32
Therefore, the value for common factors is 32.
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 = 38325982303488/(1x32)
LCM = 38325982303488/32
LCM = 1197686946984
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 556,554,956,264,493 is 1197686946984.
