Given numbers are 523,281,238,286

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

The LCM of 523,281,238,286 is 5001738742.

Find LCM of 523,281,238,286 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 523 x 281 x 119 x 143 = 5001738742

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 523,281,238,286 is 5001738742.

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.

523 x 281 x 238 x 286 = 10003477484

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.

523 : 1, 523

281 : 1, 281

238 : 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238

286 : 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 523,281,238,286, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

523:523

281:281

238:2x 7x 17

286:2x 11x 13

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

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

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 = 10003477484/(1x2)

LCM = 10003477484/2

LCM = 5001738742

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 523,281,238,286 is 5001738742.
