Given numbers are 261,551,589,562
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,551,589,562 is 86395698.
Find LCM of 261,551,589,562 with Prime Factorization
| 19 | 261, 551, 589, 562 |
| 29 | 261, 29, 31, 562 |
| 9, 1, 31, 562 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
19 x 29 x 9 x 1 x 31 x 562 = 86395698
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,551,589,562 is 86395698.
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 551 x 589 x 562 = 47604029598
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
551 : 1, 19, 29, 551
589 : 1, 19, 31, 589
562 : 1, 2, 281, 562
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,551,589,562, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
551:19x 29
589:19x 31
562:2x 281
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
19x 29 = 551
Therefore, the value for common factors is 551.
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 = 47604029598/(1x551)
LCM = 47604029598/551
LCM = 86395698
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,551,589,562 is 86395698.
