Given numbers are 587,956,178,546
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 587,956,178,546 is 13634796084.
Find LCM of 587,956,178,546 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 587, 956, 178, 546 |
| 587, 478, 89, 273 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 587 x 478 x 89 x 273 = 13634796084
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 587,956,178,546 is 13634796084.
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.
587 x 956 x 178 x 546 = 54539184336
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.
587 : 1, 587
956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956
178 : 1, 2, 89, 178
546 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 21, 26, 39, 42, 78, 91, 182, 273, 546
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 587,956,178,546, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
587:587
956:2x 2x 239
178:2x 89
546:2x 3x 7x 13
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2 = 4
Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.
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 = 54539184336/(1x4)
LCM = 54539184336/4
LCM = 13634796084
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 587,956,178,546 is 13634796084.
