Given numbers are 260,977,213,978

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

The LCM of 260,977,213,978 is 8819320380.

Find LCM of 260,977,213,978 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 130 x 977 x 71 x 163 = 8819320380

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 260,977,213,978 is 8819320380.

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.

260 x 977 x 213 x 978 = 52915922280

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.

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

977 : 1, 977

213 : 1, 3, 71, 213

978 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 163, 326, 489, 978

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 260,977,213,978, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

260:2x 2x 5x 13

977:977

213:3x 71

978:2x 3x 163

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 52915922280/(1x6)

LCM = 52915922280/6

LCM = 8819320380

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 260,977,213,978 is 8819320380.
