Given numbers are 264,277,587,129,261

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

The LCM of 264,277,587,129,261 is 160586674776.

Find LCM of 264,277,587,129,261 with Prime Factorization

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

3 x 88 x 277 x 587 x 43 x 87 = 160586674776

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 264,277,587,129,261 is 160586674776.

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.

264 x 277 x 587 x 129 x 261 = 1445280072984

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.

264 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264

277 : 1, 277

587 : 1, 587

129 : 1, 3, 43, 129

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 264,277,587,129,261, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

264:2x 2x 2x 3x 11

277:277

587:587

129:3x 43

261:3x 3x 29

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

3x 3 = 9

Therefore, the value for common factors is 9.

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 = 1445280072984/(1x9)

LCM = 1445280072984/9

LCM = 160586674776

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 264,277,587,129,261 is 160586674776.
