Given numbers are 261,138,596,521

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

The LCM of 261,138,596,521 is 1864027548.

Find LCM of 261,138,596,521 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 87 x 23 x 298 x 521 = 1864027548

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,138,596,521 is 1864027548.

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 138 x 596 x 521 = 11184165288

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

138 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 23, 46, 69, 138

596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596

521 : 1, 521

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,138,596,521, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

261:3x 3x 29

138:2x 3x 23

596:2x 2x 149

521:521

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 = 11184165288/(1x6)

LCM = 11184165288/6

LCM = 1864027548

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,138,596,521 is 1864027548.
