Given numbers are 422,317,264,221,326

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

The LCM of 422,317,264,221,326 is 636100185864.

Find LCM of 422,317,264,221,326 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 211 x 317 x 132 x 221 x 163 = 636100185864

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 422,317,264,221,326 is 636100185864.

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.

422 x 317 x 264 x 221 x 326 = 2544400743456

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.

422 : 1, 2, 211, 422

317 : 1, 317

264 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 33, 44, 66, 88, 132, 264

221 : 1, 13, 17, 221

326 : 1, 2, 163, 326

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 422,317,264,221,326, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

422:2x 211

317:317

264:2x 2x 2x 3x 11

221:13x 17

326:2x 163

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 2544400743456/(1x4)

LCM = 2544400743456/4

LCM = 636100185864

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 422,317,264,221,326 is 636100185864.
