Given numbers are 331,781,260,426
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 331,781,260,426 is 201638580.
Find LCM of 331,781,260,426 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 331, 781, 260, 426 |
| 71 | 331, 781, 130, 213 |
| 331, 11, 130, 3 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 71 x 331 x 11 x 130 x 3 = 201638580
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 331,781,260,426 is 201638580.
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 781 x 260 x 426 = 28632678360
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
781 : 1, 11, 71, 781
260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 331,781,260,426, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
331:331
781:11x 71
260:2x 2x 5x 13
426:2x 3x 71
From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.
2x 71 = 142
Therefore, the value for common factors is 142.
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 = 28632678360/(1x142)
LCM = 28632678360/142
LCM = 201638580
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 331,781,260,426 is 201638580.
