Given numbers are 261,435,979,317

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

The LCM of 261,435,979,317 is 404997615.

Find LCM of 261,435,979,317 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 29 x 3 x 5 x 979 x 317 = 404997615

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,435,979,317 is 404997615.

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 435 x 979 x 317 = 35234792505

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

435 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 29, 87, 145, 435

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

317 : 1, 317

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,435,979,317, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

261:3x 3x 29

435:3x 5x 29

979:11x 89

317:317

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

3x 29 = 87

Therefore, the value for common factors is 87.

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 = 35234792505/(1x87)

LCM = 35234792505/87

LCM = 404997615

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,435,979,317 is 404997615.
