Given numbers are 551,972,262

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

The LCM of 551,972,262 is 70159932.

Find LCM of 551,972,262 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 551 x 486 x 131 = 70159932

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 551,972,262 is 70159932.

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.

551 x 972 x 262 = 140319864

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.

551 : 1, 19, 29, 551

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

262 : 1, 2, 131, 262

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 551,972,262, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

551:19x 29

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

262:2x 131

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 = 140319864/(1x2)

LCM = 140319864/2

LCM = 70159932

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 551,972,262 is 70159932.

Here are some samples of LCM of two or more Numbers calculations.

• LCM of 965, 657, 479
