Given numbers are 281,562,226,531
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 281,562,226,531 is 33721686.
Find LCM of 281,562,226,531 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 281, 562, 226, 531 |
| 281 | 281, 281, 113, 531 |
| 1, 1, 113, 531 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 281 x 1 x 1 x 113 x 531 = 33721686
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 281,562,226,531 is 33721686.
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.
281 x 562 x 226 x 531 = 18951587532
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.
281 : 1, 281
562 : 1, 2, 281, 562
226 : 1, 2, 113, 226
531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 281,562,226,531, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
281:281
562:2x 281
226:2x 113
531:3x 3x 59
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 281 = 562
Therefore, the value for common factors is 562.
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 = 18951587532/(1x562)
LCM = 18951587532/562
LCM = 33721686
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 281,562,226,531 is 33721686.
