Given numbers are 266,984,668,656,972

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

The LCM of 266,984,668,656,972 is 3540611088.

Find LCM of 266,984,668,656,972 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 41 x 133 x 1 x 167 x 2 x 81 = 3540611088

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 266,984,668,656,972 is 3540611088.

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 984 x 668 x 656 x 972 = 111486761938944

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

984 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 328, 492, 984

668 : 1, 2, 4, 167, 334, 668

656 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 41, 82, 164, 328, 656

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 266,984,668,656,972, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

266:2x 7x 19

984:2x 2x 2x 3x 41

668:2x 2x 167

656:2x 2x 2x 2x 41

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

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 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 3x 41 = 15744

Therefore, the value for common factors is 15744.

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 = 111486761938944/(2x15744)

LCM = 111486761938944/31488

LCM = 3540611088

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 266,984,668,656,972 is 3540611088.
