Given numbers are 262,425,140,473

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

The LCM of 262,425,140,473 is 737359700.

Find LCM of 262,425,140,473 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 5 x 131 x 85 x 14 x 473 = 737359700

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,425,140,473 is 737359700.

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 425 x 140 x 473 = 7373597000

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

425 : 1, 5, 17, 25, 85, 425

140 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 70, 140

473 : 1, 11, 43, 473

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,425,140,473, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

262:2x 131

425:5x 5x 17

140:2x 2x 5x 7

473:11x 43

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

2x 5 = 10

Therefore, the value for common factors is 10.

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 = 7373597000/(1x10)

LCM = 7373597000/10

LCM = 737359700

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,425,140,473 is 737359700.
