Given numbers are 271,481,531,962
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 271,481,531,962 is 138432762.
Find LCM of 271,481,531,962 with Prime Factorization
| 13 | 271, 481, 531, 962 |
| 37 | 271, 37, 531, 74 |
| 271, 1, 531, 2 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
13 x 37 x 271 x 1 x 531 x 2 = 138432762
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 271,481,531,962 is 138432762.
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.
271 x 481 x 531 x 962 = 66586158522
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.
271 : 1, 271
481 : 1, 13, 37, 481
531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 271,481,531,962, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
271:271
481:13x 37
531:3x 3x 59
962:2x 13x 37
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
13x 37 = 481
Therefore, the value for common factors is 481.
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 = 66586158522/(1x481)
LCM = 66586158522/481
LCM = 138432762
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 271,481,531,962 is 138432762.
