Given numbers are 266,862,431

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

The LCM of 266,862,431 is 114646.

Find LCM of 266,862,431 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 431 x 133 x 1 x 1 = 114646

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 266,862,431 is 114646.

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 862 x 431 = 98824852

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

862 : 1, 2, 431, 862

431 : 1, 431

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 266,862,431, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

266:2x 7x 19

862:2x 431

431:431

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

2x 431 = 862

Therefore, the value for common factors is 862.

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 = 98824852/(1x862)

LCM = 98824852/862

LCM = 114646

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 266,862,431 is 114646.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 851, 784, 781
• LCM of 961, 659, 239
