Given numbers are 426,243,974,281

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

The LCM of 426,243,974,281 is 4722042582.

Find LCM of 426,243,974,281 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 3 x 71 x 81 x 487 x 281 = 4722042582

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 426,243,974,281 is 4722042582.

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.

426 x 243 x 974 x 281 = 28332255492

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.

426 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 71, 142, 213, 426

243 : 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243

974 : 1, 2, 487, 974

281 : 1, 281

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 426,243,974,281, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

426:2x 3x 71

243:3x 3x 3x 3x 3

974:2x 487

281:281

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

2x 3 = 6

Therefore, the value for common factors is 6.

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 = 28332255492/(1x6)

LCM = 28332255492/6

LCM = 4722042582

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 426,243,974,281 is 4722042582.
