Given numbers are 266,388,731,970

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

The LCM of 266,388,731,970 is 188612620.

Find LCM of 266,388,731,970 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 97 x 133 x 2 x 731 x 5 = 188612620

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 266,388,731,970 is 188612620.

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.

266 x 388 x 731 x 970 = 73181696560

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.

266 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 19, 38, 133, 266

388 : 1, 2, 4, 97, 194, 388

731 : 1, 17, 43, 731

970 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 266,388,731,970, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

266:2x 7x 19

388:2x 2x 97

731:17x 43

970:2x 5x 97

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 97 = 388

Therefore, the value for common factors is 388.

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 = 73181696560/(1x388)

LCM = 73181696560/388

LCM = 188612620

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 266,388,731,970 is 188612620.
