Given numbers are 102,173,236,403,979

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

The LCM of 102,173,236,403,979 is 821515988436.

Find LCM of 102,173,236,403,979 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 51 x 173 x 118 x 403 x 979 = 821515988436

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 102,173,236,403,979 is 821515988436.

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.

102 x 173 x 236 x 403 x 979 = 1643031976872

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.

102 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 102

173 : 1, 173

236 : 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236

403 : 1, 13, 31, 403

979 : 1, 11, 89, 979

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 102,173,236,403,979, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

102:2x 3x 17

173:173

236:2x 2x 59

403:13x 31

979:11x 89

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 = 1643031976872/(1x2)

LCM = 1643031976872/2

LCM = 821515988436

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 102,173,236,403,979 is 821515988436.
