Given numbers are 558,536,240,186
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 558,536,240,186 is 1495440.
Find LCM of 558,536,240,186 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 558, 536, 240, 186 |
| 2 | 279, 268, 120, 93 |
| 2 | 279, 134, 60, 93 |
| 3 | 279, 67, 30, 93 |
| 31 | 31, 67, 10, 93 |
| 1, 67, 10, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 31 x 1 x 67 x 10 x 3 = 1495440
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 558,536,240,186 is 1495440.
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.
558 x 536 x 240 x 186 = 13351288320
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.
558 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 31, 62, 93, 186, 279, 558
536 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 67, 134, 268, 536
240 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
186 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 31, 62, 93, 186
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 558,536,240,186, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
558:2x 3x 3x 31
536:2x 2x 2x 67
240:2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5
186:2x 3x 31
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 3x 3x 31 = 4464
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4464.
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 = 13351288320/(2x4464)
LCM = 13351288320/8928
LCM = 1495440
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 558,536,240,186 is 1495440.
