Given numbers are 262,262,936,431
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 262,262,936,431 is 52847496.
Find LCM of 262,262,936,431 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 262, 262, 936, 431 |
| 131 | 131, 131, 468, 431 |
| 1, 1, 468, 431 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 131 x 1 x 1 x 468 x 431 = 52847496
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,262,936,431 is 52847496.
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 262 x 936 x 431 = 27692087904
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
262 : 1, 2, 131, 262
936 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 18, 24, 26, 36, 39, 52, 72, 78, 104, 117, 156, 234, 312, 468, 936
431 : 1, 431
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,262,936,431, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
262:2x 131
262:2x 131
936:2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 13
431:431
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 131 = 524
Therefore, the value for common factors is 524.
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 = 27692087904/(1x524)
LCM = 27692087904/524
LCM = 52847496
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,262,936,431 is 52847496.
