Given numbers are 331,279,130,493,962

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

The LCM of 331,279,130,493,962 is 218989954170.

Find LCM of 331,279,130,493,962 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 13 x 331 x 279 x 5 x 493 x 37 = 218989954170

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 331,279,130,493,962 is 218989954170.

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.

331 x 279 x 130 x 493 x 962 = 5693738808420

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.

331 : 1, 331

279 : 1, 3, 9, 31, 93, 279

130 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, 26, 65, 130

493 : 1, 17, 29, 493

962 : 1, 2, 13, 26, 37, 74, 481, 962

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 331,279,130,493,962, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

331:331

279:3x 3x 31

130:2x 5x 13

493:17x 29

962:2x 13x 37

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

2x 13 = 26

Therefore, the value for common factors is 26.

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 = 5693738808420/(1x26)

LCM = 5693738808420/26

LCM = 218989954170

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 331,279,130,493,962 is 218989954170.
