Given numbers are 431,167,236,944,260

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

The LCM of 431,167,236,944,260 is 4416508720.

Find LCM of 431,167,236,944,260 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 59 x 431 x 167 x 1 x 4 x 65 = 4416508720

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 431,167,236,944,260 is 4416508720.

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.

431 x 167 x 236 x 944 x 260 = 4169184231680

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.

431 : 1, 431

167 : 1, 167

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

944 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 59, 118, 236, 472, 944

260 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 431,167,236,944,260, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

431:431

167:167

236:2x 2x 59

944:2x 2x 2x 2x 59

260:2x 2x 5x 13

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 2x 2x 59 = 944

Therefore, the value for common factors is 944.

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 = 4169184231680/(1x944)

LCM = 4169184231680/944

LCM = 4416508720

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 431,167,236,944,260 is 4416508720.
