Given numbers are 262,287,427,716

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

The LCM of 262,287,427,716 is 1642086572.

Find LCM of 262,287,427,716 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 7 x 131 x 41 x 61 x 358 = 1642086572

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,287,427,716 is 1642086572.

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 287 x 427 x 716 = 22989212008

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

287 : 1, 7, 41, 287

427 : 1, 7, 61, 427

716 : 1, 2, 4, 179, 358, 716

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,287,427,716, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

262:2x 131

287:7x 41

427:7x 61

716:2x 2x 179

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2x 7 = 14

Therefore, the value for common factors is 14.

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 = 22989212008/(1x14)

LCM = 22989212008/14

LCM = 1642086572

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,287,427,716 is 1642086572.
