Given numbers are 261,371,265,551

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

The LCM of 261,371,265,551 is 9198945.

Find LCM of 261,371,265,551 with Prime Factorization

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

29 x 53 x 9 x 7 x 5 x 19 = 9198945

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,371,265,551 is 9198945.

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 371 x 265 x 551 = 14138778465

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

371 : 1, 7, 53, 371

265 : 1, 5, 53, 265

551 : 1, 19, 29, 551

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,371,265,551, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

261:3x 3x 29

371:7x 53

265:5x 53

551:19x 29

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

29x 53 = 1537

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1537.

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 = 14138778465/(1x1537)

LCM = 14138778465/1537

LCM = 9198945

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,371,265,551 is 9198945.
