Given numbers are 282,260,421,965

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

The LCM of 282,260,421,965 is 2978734980.

Find LCM of 282,260,421,965 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 5 x 141 x 26 x 421 x 193 = 2978734980

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 282,260,421,965 is 2978734980.

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.

282 x 260 x 421 x 965 = 29787349800

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.

282 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

421 : 1, 421

965 : 1, 5, 193, 965

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 282,260,421,965, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

282:2x 3x 47

260:2x 2x 5x 13

421:421

965:5x 193

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

2x 5 = 10

Therefore, the value for common factors is 10.

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 = 29787349800/(1x10)

LCM = 29787349800/10

LCM = 2978734980

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 282,260,421,965 is 2978734980.
