Given numbers are 946,958,341,261

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

The LCM of 946,958,341,261 is 3666307194.

Find LCM of 946,958,341,261 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 11 x 43 x 479 x 31 x 261 = 3666307194

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 946,958,341,261 is 3666307194.

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.

946 x 958 x 341 x 261 = 80658758268

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.

946 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 43, 86, 473, 946

958 : 1, 2, 479, 958

341 : 1, 11, 31, 341

261 : 1, 3, 9, 29, 87, 261

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 946,958,341,261, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

946:2x 11x 43

958:2x 479

341:11x 31

261:3x 3x 29

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

2x 11 = 22

Therefore, the value for common factors is 22.

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 = 80658758268/(1x22)

LCM = 80658758268/22

LCM = 3666307194

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 946,958,341,261 is 3666307194.
