Given numbers are 261,974,425,417
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 261,974,425,417 is 15017692050.
Find LCM of 261,974,425,417 with Prime Factorization
| 3 | 261, 974, 425, 417 |
| 87, 974, 425, 139 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
3 x 87 x 974 x 425 x 139 = 15017692050
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 261,974,425,417 is 15017692050.
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 974 x 425 x 417 = 45053076150
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
974 : 1, 2, 487, 974
425 : 1, 5, 17, 25, 85, 425
417 : 1, 3, 139, 417
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 261,974,425,417, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
261:3x 3x 29
974:2x 487
425:5x 5x 17
417:3x 139
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
3 = 3
Therefore, the value for common factors is 3.
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 = 45053076150/(1x3)
LCM = 45053076150/3
LCM = 15017692050
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 261,974,425,417 is 15017692050.
