Given numbers are 261,236,590,626

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

The LCM of 261,236,590,626 is 96397740.

Find LCM of 261,236,590,626 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 59 x 261 x 2 x 5 x 313 = 96397740

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,236,590,626 is 96397740.

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 236 x 590 x 626 = 22749866640

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

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

590 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 59, 118, 295, 590

626 : 1, 2, 313, 626

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,236,590,626, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

261:3x 3x 29

236:2x 2x 59

590:2x 5x 59

626:2x 313

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 59 = 236

Therefore, the value for common factors is 236.

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 = 22749866640/(1x236)

LCM = 22749866640/236

LCM = 96397740

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,236,590,626 is 96397740.
