Given numbers are 402,268,491,185

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

The LCM of 402,268,491,185 is 73031340.

Find LCM of 402,268,491,185 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 67 x 3 x 2 x 491 x 185 = 73031340

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 402,268,491,185 is 73031340.

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.

402 x 268 x 491 x 185 = 9786199560

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.

402 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 67, 134, 201, 402

268 : 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268

491 : 1, 491

185 : 1, 5, 37, 185

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 402,268,491,185, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

402:2x 3x 67

268:2x 2x 67

491:491

185:5x 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 67 = 134

Therefore, the value for common factors is 134.

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 = 9786199560/(1x134)

LCM = 9786199560/134

LCM = 73031340

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 402,268,491,185 is 73031340.
