Given numbers are 261,242,418,841
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,242,418,841 is 34802262.
Find LCM of 261,242,418,841 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 261, 242, 418, 841 |
| 11 | 261, 121, 209, 841 |
| 29 | 261, 11, 19, 841 |
| 9, 11, 19, 29 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 11 x 29 x 9 x 11 x 19 x 29 = 34802262
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,242,418,841 is 34802262.
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 242 x 418 x 841 = 22203843156
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
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
418 : 1, 2, 11, 19, 22, 38, 209, 418
841 : 1, 29, 841
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,242,418,841, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
242:2x 11x 11
418:2x 11x 19
841:29x 29
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 11x 29 = 638
Therefore, the value for common factors is 638.
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 = 22203843156/(1x638)
LCM = 22203843156/638
LCM = 34802262
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,242,418,841 is 34802262.
