Given numbers are 262,717,681,946

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

The LCM of 262,717,681,946 is 20170071834.

Find LCM of 262,717,681,946 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 131 x 239 x 227 x 473 = 20170071834

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 262,717,681,946 is 20170071834.

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 717 x 681 x 946 = 121020431004

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

717 : 1, 3, 239, 717

681 : 1, 3, 227, 681

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 262,717,681,946, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

262:2x 131

717:3x 239

681:3x 227

946:2x 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 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 121020431004/(1x6)

LCM = 121020431004/6

LCM = 20170071834

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 262,717,681,946 is 20170071834.
