Given numbers are 146,969,796,638,431

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

The LCM of 146,969,796,638,431 is 7741545276828.

Find LCM of 146,969,796,638,431 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 73 x 969 x 398 x 319 x 431 = 7741545276828

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 146,969,796,638,431 is 7741545276828.

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.

146 x 969 x 796 x 638 x 431 = 30966181107312

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.

146 : 1, 2, 73, 146

969 : 1, 3, 17, 19, 51, 57, 323, 969

796 : 1, 2, 4, 199, 398, 796

638 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 29, 58, 319, 638

431 : 1, 431

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 146,969,796,638,431, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

146:2x 73

969:3x 17x 19

796:2x 2x 199

638:2x 11x 29

431:431

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

2x 2 = 4

Therefore, the value for common factors is 4.

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 = 30966181107312/(1x4)

LCM = 30966181107312/4

LCM = 7741545276828

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 146,969,796,638,431 is 7741545276828.
