Given numbers are 261,242,990,674
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,242,990,674 is 106427970.
Find LCM of 261,242,990,674 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 261, 242, 990, 674 |
| 3 | 261, 121, 495, 337 |
| 3 | 87, 121, 165, 337 |
| 11 | 29, 121, 55, 337 |
| 29, 11, 5, 337 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 29 x 11 x 5 x 337 = 106427970
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,242,990,674 is 106427970.
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 990 x 674 = 42145476120
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
990 : 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 45, 55, 66, 90, 99, 110, 165, 198, 330, 495, 990
674 : 1, 2, 337, 674
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,242,990,674, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
242:2x 11x 11
990:2x 3x 3x 5x 11
674:2x 337
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 3x 3x 11 = 396
Therefore, the value for common factors is 396.
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 = 42145476120/(1x396)
LCM = 42145476120/396
LCM = 106427970
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,242,990,674 is 106427970.
