Given numbers are 242,259,402,326

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

The LCM of 242,259,402,326 is 2053519314.

Find LCM of 242,259,402,326 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 121 x 259 x 201 x 163 = 2053519314

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,259,402,326 is 2053519314.

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.

242 x 259 x 402 x 326 = 8214077256

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.

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402

326 : 1, 2, 163, 326

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,259,402,326, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

242:2x 11x 11

259:7x 37

402:2x 3x 67

326:2x 163

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 8214077256/(1x4)

LCM = 8214077256/4

LCM = 2053519314

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,259,402,326 is 2053519314.
