Given numbers are 261,115,638,398,668

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

The LCM of 261,115,638,398,668 is 43889493780.

Find LCM of 261,115,638,398,668 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 29 x 9 x 115 x 11 x 199 x 334 = 43889493780

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,115,638,398,668 is 43889493780.

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.

261 x 115 x 638 x 398 x 668 = 5091181278480

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.

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

115 : 1, 5, 23, 115

638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638

398 : 1, 2, 199, 398

668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,115,638,398,668, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

261:3x 3x 29

115:5x 23

638:2x 11x 29

398:2x 199

668:2x 2x 167

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 29 = 116

Therefore, the value for common factors is 116.

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 = 5091181278480/(1x116)

LCM = 5091181278480/116

LCM = 43889493780

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,115,638,398,668 is 43889493780.
