Given numbers are 344,261,531,279,562

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

The LCM of 344,261,531,279,562 is 46144397016.

Find LCM of 344,261,531,279,562 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 3 x 172 x 29 x 59 x 31 x 281 = 46144397016

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 344,261,531,279,562 is 46144397016.

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.

344 x 261 x 531 x 279 x 562 = 7475392316592

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.

344 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 43, 86, 172, 344

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

531 : 1, 3, 9, 59, 177, 531

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

562 : 1, 2, 281, 562

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 344,261,531,279,562, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

344:2x 2x 2x 43

261:3x 3x 29

531:3x 3x 59

279:3x 3x 31

562:2x 281

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

2x 3x 3x 3x 3 = 162

Therefore, the value for common factors is 162.

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 = 7475392316592/(1x162)

LCM = 7475392316592/162

LCM = 46144397016

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 344,261,531,279,562 is 46144397016.
