Given numbers are 131,531,917,974

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

The LCM of 131,531,917,974 is 474266898.

Find LCM of 131,531,917,974 with Prime Factorization

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

131 x 1 x 531 x 7 x 974 = 474266898

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 131,531,917,974 is 474266898.

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.

131 x 531 x 917 x 974 = 62128963638

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.

131 : 1, 131

531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531

917 : 1, 7, 131, 917

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 131,531,917,974, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

131:131

531:3x 3x 59

917:7x 131

974:2x 487

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

131 = 131

Therefore, the value for common factors is 131.

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 = 62128963638/(1x131)

LCM = 62128963638/131

LCM = 474266898

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 131,531,917,974 is 474266898.
