Given numbers are 242,956,271

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

The LCM of 242,956,271 is 31348196.

Find LCM of 242,956,271 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 121 x 478 x 271 = 31348196

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,956,271 is 31348196.

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 956 x 271 = 62696392

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

956 : 1, 2, 4, 239, 478, 956

271 : 1, 271

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,956,271, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

242:2x 11x 11

956:2x 2x 239

271:271

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 62696392/(1x2)

LCM = 62696392/2

LCM = 31348196

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,956,271 is 31348196.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 890, 677, 148
• LCM of 849, 752, 743
