Given numbers are 163,692,972,224,284

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

The LCM of 163,692,972,224,284 is 108979885728.

Find LCM of 163,692,972,224,284 with Prime Factorization

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

2 x 2 x 163 x 173 x 243 x 56 x 71 = 108979885728

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 163,692,972,224,284 is 108979885728.

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.

163 x 692 x 972 x 224 x 284 = 6974712686592

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.

163 : 1, 163

692 : 1, 2, 4, 173, 346, 692

972 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, 972

224 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224

284 : 1, 2, 4, 71, 142, 284

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 163,692,972,224,284, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

163:163

692:2x 2x 173

972:2x 2x 3x 3x 3x 3x 3

224:2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 7

284:2x 2x 71

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

2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2 = 64

Therefore, the value for common factors is 64.

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 = 6974712686592/(1x64)

LCM = 6974712686592/64

LCM = 108979885728

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 163,692,972,224,284 is 108979885728.
