Given numbers are 404,489,596,261
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 404,489,596,261 is 2560918428.
Find LCM of 404,489,596,261 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 404, 489, 596, 261 |
| 2 | 202, 489, 298, 261 |
| 3 | 101, 489, 149, 261 |
| 101, 163, 149, 87 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 2 x 3 x 101 x 163 x 149 x 87 = 2560918428
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 404,489,596,261 is 2560918428.
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.
404 x 489 x 596 x 261 = 30731021136
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.
404 : 1, 2, 4, 101, 202, 404
489 : 1, 3, 163, 489
596 : 1, 2, 4, 149, 298, 596
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 404,489,596,261, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
404:2x 2x 101
489:3x 163
596:2x 2x 149
261:3x 3x 29
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 3 = 12
Therefore, the value for common factors is 12.
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 = 30731021136/(1x12)
LCM = 30731021136/12
LCM = 2560918428
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 404,489,596,261 is 2560918428.
