Given numbers are 259,731,960,874,331

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

The LCM of 259,731,960,874,331 is 26290436988480.

Find LCM of 259,731,960,874,331 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 259 x 731 x 480 x 437 x 331 = 26290436988480

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 259,731,960,874,331 is 26290436988480.

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 731 x 960 x 874 x 331 = 52580873976960

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

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

960 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320, 480, 960

874 : 1, 2, 19, 23, 38, 46, 437, 874

331 : 1, 331

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 259,731,960,874,331, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

259:7x 37

731:17x 43

960:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 5

874:2x 19x 23

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.

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 = 52580873976960/(1x2)

LCM = 52580873976960/2

LCM = 26290436988480

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 259,731,960,874,331 is 26290436988480.
