Given numbers are 262,246,272,988,545

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

The LCM of 262,246,272,988,545 is 589982006640.

Find LCM of 262,246,272,988,545 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 131 x 123 x 68 x 247 x 545 = 589982006640

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,246,272,988,545 is 589982006640.

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 246 x 272 x 988 x 545 = 9439712106240

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

246 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246

272 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 34, 68, 136, 272

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

545 : 1, 5, 109, 545

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,246,272,988,545, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

262:2x 131

246:2x 3x 41

272:2x 2x 2x 2x 17

988:2x 2x 13x 19

545:5x 109

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 2 = 16

Therefore, the value for common factors is 16.

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 = 9439712106240/(1x16)

LCM = 9439712106240/16

LCM = 589982006640

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,246,272,988,545 is 589982006640.
