Given numbers are 26,14,42,26,662
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 26,14,42,26,662 is 180726.
Find LCM of 26,14,42,26,662 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 26, 14, 42, 26, 662 |
| 7 | 13, 7, 21, 13, 331 |
| 13 | 13, 1, 3, 13, 331 |
| 1, 1, 3, 1, 331 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 7 x 13 x 1 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 331 = 180726
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 26,14,42,26,662 is 180726.
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.
26 x 14 x 42 x 26 x 662 = 263137056
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.
26 : 1, 2, 13, 26
14 : 1, 2, 7, 14
42 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
26 : 1, 2, 13, 26
662 : 1, 2, 331, 662
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 26,14,42,26,662, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
26:2x 13
14:2x 7
42:2x 3x 7
26:2x 13
662:2x 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 7x 13 = 728
Therefore, the value for common factors is 728.
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 = 263137056/(2x728)
LCM = 263137056/1456
LCM = 180726
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 26,14,42,26,662 is 180726.
