Given numbers are 756,228,988,542
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 756,228,988,542 is 50604372.
Find LCM of 756,228,988,542 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 756, 228, 988, 542 |
| 2 | 378, 114, 494, 271 |
| 3 | 189, 57, 247, 271 |
| 19 | 63, 19, 247, 271 |
| 63, 1, 13, 271 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 63 x 1 x 13 x 271 = 50604372
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 756,228,988,542 is 50604372.
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.
756 x 228 x 988 x 542 = 92302374528
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.
756 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 27, 28, 36, 42, 54, 63, 84, 108, 126, 189, 252, 378, 756
228 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 38, 57, 76, 114, 228
988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 756,228,988,542, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
756:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 7
228:2x 2x 3x 19
988:2x 2x 13x 19
542:2x 271
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 19 = 912
Therefore, the value for common factors is 912.
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 = 92302374528/(2x912)
LCM = 92302374528/1824
LCM = 50604372
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 756,228,988,542 is 50604372.
