Given numbers are 688,281,141,281,502

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 688,281,141,281,502 is 6842071248.

Find LCM of 688,281,141,281,502 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 281 x 344 x 1 x 141 x 1 x 251 = 6842071248

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 688,281,141,281,502 is 6842071248.

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.

688 x 281 x 141 x 281 x 502 = 3845244041376

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.

688 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 43, 86, 172, 344, 688

281 : 1, 281

141 : 1, 3, 47, 141

281 : 1, 281

502 : 1, 2, 251, 502

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 688,281,141,281,502, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

688:2x 2x 2x 2x 43

281:281

141:3x 47

281:281

502:2x 251

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 281 = 562

Therefore, the value for common factors is 562.

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 = 3845244041376/(1x562)

LCM = 3845244041376/562

LCM = 6842071248

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 688,281,141,281,502 is 6842071248.
