Given numbers are 236,561,258,281

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

The LCM of 236,561,258,281 is 1599740868.

Find LCM of 236,561,258,281 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 118 x 187 x 43 x 281 = 1599740868

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 236,561,258,281 is 1599740868.

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.

236 x 561 x 258 x 281 = 9598445208

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.

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

561 : 1, 3, 11, 17, 33, 51, 187, 561

258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258

281 : 1, 281

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 236,561,258,281, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

236:2x 2x 59

561:3x 11x 17

258:2x 3x 43

281:281

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 9598445208/(1x6)

LCM = 9598445208/6

LCM = 1599740868

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 236,561,258,281 is 1599740868.
