Given numbers are 271,572,221,261

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

The LCM of 271,572,221,261 is 687788244.

Find LCM of 271,572,221,261 with Prime Factorization

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

13 x 271 x 44 x 17 x 261 = 687788244

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 271,572,221,261 is 687788244.

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 572 x 221 x 261 = 8941247172

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

572 : 1, 2, 4, 11, 13, 22, 26, 44, 52, 143, 286, 572

221 : 1, 13, 17, 221

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 271,572,221,261, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

271:271

572:2x 2x 11x 13

221:13x 17

261:3x 3x 29

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

13 = 13

Therefore, the value for common factors is 13.

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 = 8941247172/(1x13)

LCM = 8941247172/13

LCM = 687788244

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 271,572,221,261 is 687788244.
