Given numbers are 601,231,979,242

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

The LCM of 601,231,979,242 is 271831098.

Find LCM of 601,231,979,242 with Prime Factorization

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

11 x 601 x 21 x 89 x 22 = 271831098

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 601,231,979,242 is 271831098.

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.

601 x 231 x 979 x 242 = 32891562858

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.

601 : 1, 601

231 : 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 601,231,979,242, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

601:601

231:3x 7x 11

979:11x 89

242:2x 11x 11

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

11x 11 = 121

Therefore, the value for common factors is 121.

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 = 32891562858/(1x121)

LCM = 32891562858/121

LCM = 271831098

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 601,231,979,242 is 271831098.
