Given numbers are 312,260,726,462
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 312,260,726,462 is 1321320.
Find LCM of 312,260,726,462 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 312, 260, 726, 462 |
| 2 | 156, 130, 363, 231 |
| 3 | 78, 65, 363, 231 |
| 11 | 26, 65, 121, 77 |
| 13 | 26, 65, 11, 7 |
| 2, 5, 11, 7 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 13 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 7 = 1321320
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 312,260,726,462 is 1321320.
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.
312 x 260 x 726 x 462 = 27208621440
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.
312 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, 312
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
726 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 121, 242, 363, 726
462 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 21, 22, 33, 42, 66, 77, 154, 231, 462
2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 312,260,726,462, is 2.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
312:2x 2x 2x 3x 13
260:2x 2x 5x 13
726:2x 3x 11x 11
462:2x 3x 7x 11
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 2x 2x 3x 3x 11x 13 = 10296
Therefore, the value for common factors is 10296.
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 = 27208621440/(2x10296)
LCM = 27208621440/20592
LCM = 1321320
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 312,260,726,462 is 1321320.
