Given numbers are 261,944,435,551
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,944,435,551 is 23406480.
Find LCM of 261,944,435,551 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 261, 944, 435, 551 |
| 29 | 87, 944, 145, 551 |
| 3, 944, 5, 19 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 29 x 3 x 944 x 5 x 19 = 23406480
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,944,435,551 is 23406480.
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 944 x 435 x 551 = 59054549040
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
944 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944
435 : 1, 3, 5, 15, 29, 87, 145, 435
551 : 1, 19, 29, 551
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,944,435,551, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
944:2x 2x 2x 2x 59
435:3x 5x 29
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.
3x 29x 29 = 2523
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2523.
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 = 59054549040/(1x2523)
LCM = 59054549040/2523
LCM = 23406480
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,944,435,551 is 23406480.
