Given numbers are 262,208,968,442
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 262,208,968,442 is 56049136.
Find LCM of 262,208,968,442 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 262, 208, 968, 442 |
| 2 | 131, 104, 484, 221 |
| 2 | 131, 52, 242, 221 |
| 13 | 131, 26, 121, 221 |
| 131, 2, 121, 17 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 131 x 2 x 121 x 17 = 56049136
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,208,968,442 is 56049136.
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.
262 x 208 x 968 x 442 = 23316440576
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.
262 : 1, 2, 131, 262
208 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 208
968 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, 968
442 : 1, 2, 13, 17, 26, 34, 221, 442
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,208,968,442, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
262:2x 131
208:2x 2x 2x 2x 13
968:2x 2x 2x 11x 11
442:2x 13x 17
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2x 2x 13 = 208
Therefore, the value for common factors is 208.
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 = 23316440576/(2x208)
LCM = 23316440576/416
LCM = 56049136
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,208,968,442 is 56049136.
