Given numbers are 259,531,986,273

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

The LCM of 259,531,986,273 is 1762846722.

Find LCM of 259,531,986,273 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 7 x 37 x 177 x 986 x 13 = 1762846722

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,531,986,273 is 1762846722.

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.

259 x 531 x 986 x 273 = 37019781162

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.

259 : 1, 7, 37, 259

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

986 : 1, 2, 17, 29, 34, 58, 493, 986

273 : 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, 39, 91, 273

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,531,986,273, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

531:3x 3x 59

986:2x 17x 29

273:3x 7x 13

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

3x 7 = 21

Therefore, the value for common factors is 21.

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 = 37019781162/(1x21)

LCM = 37019781162/21

LCM = 1762846722

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,531,986,273 is 1762846722.
