Given numbers are 996,311,287,262
The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.
The LCM of 996,311,287,262 is 11645896332.
Find LCM of 996,311,287,262 with Prime Factorization
| 2 | 996, 311, 287, 262 |
| 498, 311, 287, 131 |
Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.
2 x 498 x 311 x 287 x 131 = 11645896332
Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 996,311,287,262 is 11645896332.
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.
996 x 311 x 287 x 262 = 23291792664
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.
996 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
311 : 1, 311
287 : 1, 7, 41, 287
262 : 1, 2, 131, 262
1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 996,311,287,262, is 1.
Now, the common factors can be found like this.
996:2x 2x 3x 83
311:311
287:7x 41
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 = 23291792664/(1x2)
LCM = 23291792664/2
LCM = 11645896332
Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 996,311,287,262 is 11645896332.
