Given numbers are 252,428,436,331

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

The LCM of 252,428,436,331 is 972834156.

Find LCM of 252,428,436,331 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 63 x 107 x 109 x 331 = 972834156

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 252,428,436,331 is 972834156.

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.

252 x 428 x 436 x 331 = 15565346496

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.

252 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, 252

428 : 1, 2, 4, 107, 214, 428

436 : 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436

331 : 1, 331

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 252,428,436,331, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

252:2x 2x 3x 3x 7

428:2x 2x 107

436:2x 2x 109

331:331

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

2x 2x 2x 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 15565346496/(1x16)

LCM = 15565346496/16

LCM = 972834156

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 252,428,436,331 is 972834156.
