Given numbers are 987,281,698,260

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

The LCM of 987,281,698,260 is 25166466780.

Find LCM of 987,281,698,260 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 987 x 281 x 349 x 130 = 25166466780

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 987,281,698,260 is 25166466780.

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.

987 x 281 x 698 x 260 = 50332933560

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.

987 : 1, 3, 7, 21, 47, 141, 329, 987

281 : 1, 281

698 : 1, 2, 349, 698

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 987,281,698,260, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

987:3x 7x 47

281:281

698:2x 349

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.

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 = 50332933560/(1x2)

LCM = 50332933560/2

LCM = 25166466780

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 987,281,698,260 is 25166466780.
