Given numbers are 261,131,490,747
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,131,490,747 is 1390547970.
Find LCM of 261,131,490,747 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 261, 131, 490, 747 |
| 3 | 87, 131, 490, 249 |
| 29, 131, 490, 83 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 3 x 29 x 131 x 490 x 83 = 1390547970
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,131,490,747 is 1390547970.
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 131 x 490 x 747 = 12514931730
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
131 : 1, 131
490 : 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 49, 70, 98, 245, 490
747 : 1, 3, 9, 83, 249, 747
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,131,490,747, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
131:131
490:2x 5x 7x 7
747:3x 3x 83
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3x 3 = 9
Therefore, the value for common factors is 9.
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 = 12514931730/(1x9)
LCM = 12514931730/9
LCM = 1390547970
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,131,490,747 is 1390547970.
