Given numbers are 266,786,712,974

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

The LCM of 266,786,712,974 is 18123962136.

Find LCM of 266,786,712,974 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 133 x 393 x 356 x 487 = 18123962136

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 266,786,712,974 is 18123962136.

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 786 x 712 x 974 = 144991697088

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

786 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786

712 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 89, 178, 356, 712

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 266,786,712,974, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

266:2x 7x 19

786:2x 3x 131

712:2x 2x 2x 89

974:2x 487

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 144991697088/(2x4)

LCM = 144991697088/8

LCM = 18123962136

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 266,786,712,974 is 18123962136.
