Given numbers are 262,407,962,402

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

The LCM of 262,407,962,402 is 278634642.

Find LCM of 262,407,962,402 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 37 x 131 x 11 x 13 x 201 = 278634642

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,407,962,402 is 278634642.

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 407 x 962 x 402 = 41237927016

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

407 : 1, 11, 37, 407

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,407,962,402, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

262:2x 131

407:11x 37

962:2x 13x 37

402:2x 3x 67

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 37 = 148

Therefore, the value for common factors is 148.

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 = 41237927016/(1x148)

LCM = 41237927016/148

LCM = 278634642

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,407,962,402 is 278634642.
