Given numbers are 426,973,261,302
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 426,973,261,302 is 5445260226.
Find LCM of 426,973,261,302 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 426, 973, 261, 302 |
| 3 | 213, 973, 261, 151 |
| 71, 973, 87, 151 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 3 x 71 x 973 x 87 x 151 = 5445260226
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 426,973,261,302 is 5445260226.
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 973 x 261 x 302 = 32671561356
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
973 : 1, 7, 139, 973
261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261
302 : 1, 2, 151, 302
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 426,973,261,302, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
426:2x 3x 71
973:7x 139
261:3x 3x 29
302:2x 151
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 = 32671561356/(1x6)
LCM = 32671561356/6
LCM = 5445260226
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 426,973,261,302 is 5445260226.
