Given numbers are 291,205,961,542,242
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 291,205,961,542,242 is 3759714735810.
Find LCM of 291,205,961,542,242 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 291, 205, 961, 542, 242 |
| 291, 205, 961, 271, 121 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 291 x 205 x 961 x 271 x 121 = 3759714735810
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 291,205,961,542,242 is 3759714735810.
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.
291 x 205 x 961 x 542 x 242 = 7519429471620
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.
291 : 1, 3, 97, 291
205 : 1, 5, 41, 205
961 : 1, 31, 961
542 : 1, 2, 271, 542
242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 291,205,961,542,242, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
291:3x 97
205:5x 41
961:31x 31
542:2x 271
242:2x 11x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2 = 2
Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.
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 = 7519429471620/(1x2)
LCM = 7519429471620/2
LCM = 3759714735810
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 291,205,961,542,242 is 3759714735810.
