Given numbers are 905,242,550,173
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 905,242,550,173 is 189443650.
Find LCM of 905,242,550,173 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 905, 242, 550, 173 |
| 5 | 905, 121, 275, 173 |
| 11 | 181, 121, 55, 173 |
| 181, 11, 5, 173 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 5 x 11 x 181 x 11 x 5 x 173 = 189443650
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 905,242,550,173 is 189443650.
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.
905 x 242 x 550 x 173 = 20838801500
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.
905 : 1, 5, 181, 905
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
550 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 50, 55, 110, 275, 550
173 : 1, 173
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 905,242,550,173, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
905:5x 181
242:2x 11x 11
550:2x 5x 5x 11
173:173
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 5x 11 = 110
Therefore, the value for common factors is 110.
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 = 20838801500/(1x110)
LCM = 20838801500/110
LCM = 189443650
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 905,242,550,173 is 189443650.
