Given numbers are 556,581,508,987
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 556,581,508,987 is 5784605652.
Find LCM of 556,581,508,987 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 556, 581, 508, 987 |
| 2 | 278, 581, 254, 987 |
| 7 | 139, 581, 127, 987 |
| 139, 83, 127, 141 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 7 x 139 x 83 x 127 x 141 = 5784605652
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 556,581,508,987 is 5784605652.
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 581 x 508 x 987 = 161968958256
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
581 : 1, 7, 83, 581
508 : 1, 2, 4, 127, 254, 508
987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 556,581,508,987, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
556:2x 2x 139
581:7x 83
508:2x 2x 127
987:3x 7x 47
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 7 = 28
Therefore, the value for common factors is 28.
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 = 161968958256/(1x28)
LCM = 161968958256/28
LCM = 5784605652
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 556,581,508,987 is 5784605652.
